And then it looked like this:


Its almost assembled now bar a few bits of plastic.
When its finished it should be a roadworthy winter hack.

It has a few issues to overcome first.
The positive battery lead is about three inches too short, so to run the bike you have to put the battery in sideways and gaffer tape it in.
The lemonade in the braking system needs replacing with brake fluid.
I'm going to (or get a man to) redo some of the dodgier looking welds.

What is it? Chinese 'it?

Yes Chinese, Hongdou GY200, £674 (delivered) off ebay.
The quality is bit suspect but at that price for a brand new bike you can't complain really.
