But now I'm turning my attentions to this 'un. Washed it for the first time on the weekend and under all that muck lurked a jewel...... ;)

Would mud-catchers have been available on this one Jared (the one I have pictured)? They have been re-laced and I thought they must have got it wrong. Was about to put some lip-less ones on it. I'd be very happy if I don't have to...... :P

I have only seen the early model Vr's with the mud catcher rims. (like the one pictured with the babe)
I also like the original red tank as well.
