Title: New Member Gibos Bikes - Before & After.
Post by: gibo63 on January 14, 2011, 01:19:03 am

Hi Guys & Girls,

I put up my 1st post last night, so I thought I'd follow it up with a few pics of my toys, I hope you like them. There are lots of pics of each resto from day 1 to the finish of each one. I love restoring the old girls.

The rims were badly scratched up(Tire levers from a previous owner) so I decided to clean them up & paint them. When I took the front wheel apart it was badly corroded on the inside & wasn't usable. I found an unlaced front rim of an IT200S (Gold colour as standard) & it was in mint condition. I wasn't going to destroy the gold anodizing on the rim just to paint it black to match the rear. If I can find a mint gold rear rim then I'll lace it up on the rear. Hence one black rim & one gold rim.

Gibo.

Hey Fabulous,

Glad you like the little 175G. It has always started 1st or 2nd kick. I'll see you at CD8. I'll be bringing my 2 IT200's & my IT250J. Party time.

Wanna buy an IT200  ;D ;)

Cheers

Sorry, garage is bulging at the moment. I am sure the 200 will sell easily. Best of luck!
