slow project shall begin... soon!

Hi to all, have been looking around your site for a while now to get some valuble info on the @ an i have finally decided on the RD04. I moved over to Germany at the end of last year an had to sell my bikes before i came over. i bought a frame an swing arm as my start from a "91" RD04 an am going to slowly build it up over the next 12 months or so ready for next summer.

Just wanted to say hello an i hope that its ok if i ask for the odd bit of advice/help/opinion on things.

cheers, Dan

Hi Dan and welcome to the forum.

You certainly don't like making things easy for yourself, do you?

Good luck with the build. Oh, and if you don't have one already, a good camera will be essential. There'll be folks asking (read "demanding") that you regularly post pictures of the work in progress.

It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

Welcome to the forum, Dan.
Photos of your progress would be nice.
Where in Germany are you?

Re: slow project shall begin... soon!

Dan,
You have a frame and swing arm and a camera - we have no pictures - that doesn't add up.................

Good luck with the project and have a few 'Alts' for me while your at it. Or some 'Gold top' Herforder export or some 'Krazy K' (Dortmunder Kronen) or a box or 2 of Herfy. But dont blame me for the hang-over...........

See Ya,

Bri
