Brian, I have been quietly accumulating the parts for the bike for about three years. Once I acquired a set of bananas I fitted new NJB shocks and trial-fitted them to the bike. Then a complete strip-down for powder coating (well done Suffolk Stove Enamellers) wheels rebuilt with alloy rims by Hagons. Then just put it back together (in between fettling the Scott and the TR4A).
Had to do something after the book was finished!
Funnily enough the trickiest bit was getting the generic Wassel seat to fit. None of the bolt-holes lined up of course, so a suitable mounting plate had to be fabricated in 5mm steel plate. That took a bit of getting right (ish) with no way of getting it red hot.
Ian, I will be looking out for an alternative seat at Shepton Mallet and Telford. I'd quite like to put a scrambler type seat on - be more comfy for green laning. Suggestions for type and maker welcomed.
