G'day Chris, great to hear from you and thanks to Kenneth (I'm in Victoria) and b490 for the kind words.
Well the bikes back home....actually its in another new lounge room (where it all began
)
I spent an hour cleaning 6 years of dust off it and with a spray of Mr.Sheen, I am happy to say that its still a thing of beauty to look at.
Apart from perished fork boots and some fading of the levers, it looks and feels like an old friend is back home
Its staying in my possession and with the amount of bloody work I put into it...I really don't need the money.
Cheers everyone
