Real retro

Ok here we go again.
This is now my third Dax rebuild and I am hoping to use up lots of bits from the shed.
As you can see by the pictures I have decided that gawdy oranges and the like are not for me so I am going back to my youth when colour had not been invented and the world was still grey as shown on old TV's.
The frame is a 1969 ST50 which has been stripped and powder coated along with the other parts and the front forks have been rebuilt with all new seals and bits to help make it steer better and the other parts have been rechromed as required.
Just waiting for some rubbery bits to arrive from David Silver so that I can finish rebuilding the rear shocks which have been chromed, polished and powder coated.
Hope you like the pic's

Nice,

You seem to be harking back to the "good old days" a bit too seriously...............I mean I know your first bike had wooden wheels, and men walked infront of people with red flags, but really, the only person that would be impressed with this latest retro bike would be Isambard Kingdom Brunel

I think a little bit more colour would be good............ or was it meant to mirror you hair colour

All the best Si

Cool orange bike....
Do you have an downswept Original exhaust on the bike?

Hi Tufty,
Very secretive
Looking forward to seeing its real colour.
I too am waiting for a delivery from David Silver, got Rusty back the other week from powder coating and had to replace some of those bolts.
I ended up getting the forks and rear shock collets painted to but don't think they will make it on the bike yet.
Going to stick with the hydro front forks for now and chrome rear springs just to get it through the mot.
Hot much did you end up paying to get the rear shock parts chromed?
I want to get mine done before I go retro with it

What engine are you using?

Best,
