Where is the "yes I've completed one" option? wally

Completed an overhaul, but would like to do my hand at a custom build based on fairly standard bits
ie start with the SV frame and build bit by bit a more custom bike.

current project triumph tr4 (ish)

past ones various fast mini's

tbh i wouldnt go down it again after spending many 1000's and getting no where near any of it back. Its heartbreaking to see your project go to somone who doesnt understand it or value it the way you do. However this is building stuff for sentimental reasons. If i was building a track bike or similar it would be different as it would be a toy but i would think very very hard before going down the rebuild routes again.

Youve dont a locost you can do a rebuild/trackbike..

Was finished but now got engine apart, because I'm fussy and on it's maiden ride, the paint bubbled on the head and cylinder.......so I stripped it down.
