  1. Easter this weekend, an evening next week might suit better?
  2. Isnt it something stupid like gloss coat, decals (better base for them to snuggle down on), then matt varnish, weathering then another dose of matt? All sounds a bit convoluted.....
  3. Apologies for being slightly off on a tangent, but man, does this bring back childhood memories:
  4. SO was I until mate who is into military vehicles told me how much heavy kit you need if something goes wrong. Youre talking a completely new workshop.
  5. Oldschool Nats Chathams 2026. Entry Fee: Building materials carried on as hand luggage.
  6. +1 for Nic.....took on a cunty job on the old Teutonic Hatch without flinching.
  7. As a beginner, I'm picking my arse and bike may not be up to doing the whole thing.....So I'm thinking I'll stop of at Cromwell on the way down and stay with my cousin (married the Publicans Daughter at Bannbockburn), then catch up again in Ranfurly for the ride home. On the day off I'll go walk the Poolburn Gorge section of the rail train (in from Lauder) if I can feel my legs.
  8. Okay, will put fat tyres on it as part of the rebuild then.
  9. Could a YB100 be a suitable candidate for such an adventure? (Asking for a friend)
  10. Whoops, my humblest apologies for being slow on the uptake. Just worked out this evening that the exhaust work on the A100 is courtesy of @gazguy...so credit where credit is due! Thanks so much!
  11. Gee that brings back memories.....love the burbling sound the wake makes when you are downhill at around 10knots...
  12. Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Im picking it up Thursday, we will live with it for a bit and see what the owner decides after I put it to her.
  13. Photo from Jeremy's photoshoot, the complete set is on his Instagram and Facebook pages.
  14. Grand Unveiling! And a very happy owner (and financier for that matter) Now some people might have a go at me here for 'Chequebook Rebuilding", and thats fair enough. But without it this bike would have just sat in the shed to then be passed onto someone else in 5 years time who might also sit on it ad infinitum. Its now complete to a level I'd never even dream of attaining and my girl has a bike which is unique and will be the perfect learners bike for her. And Jeremy @ Kaos Kustoms has won another loyal customer (I might alreay be thinking of that second frame and what to do with it!). So everyone wins. Ive left this thread here hopefully to provide some inspration to others and also to acknowledge those who have inspired me.
  15. Just got a message saying shes done.....and here I am in the 04 for another week....
  16. Damn.....in need of a roadie to do a pickup, but we are booked to go in the other direction for a week.
  17. Latest update from Jeremy @ Kaos Kustoms. Fizzing at the bung.
  18. Site meeting with Jeremy @ Kaos Kustoms....well, at Resenes actually. Chosen colour is Jaguar Racing Green. Should look mint.
