Cheers! Yeah mate, and I'm in Camden too so I've got to keep my eye out for theiving scum. I keep it chained to the fence under a grotty old cover though......which a local dog has taken a rather disturbing liking to

That's a bugger about keeping it outside. I wouldn't sleep, personally!! for fear of having it nicked..

Hope you chain it with as much as possible......

I'd rather have a dog pi** up cover than have it stolen..

Just a quickie. Noticed the chain adjuster plates at back are spotless...
How do you do that. I have a '51' plate and mine are slightly rusty...
Have you done anything to them or just kept 'em clean...

It's ok, I've got my housemate trained as a guard dog and his window it directly above the bike

With the chain adjuster plates.........basically the person I bought it off really looked after the bike (never used it in winter or rain) and so there is very little corrosion on the bike when I got it. Since I ride all year, I use this stuff which seems to protect the bike well.

I used it on my old thundercat and corrosion was minimal. I've heard that WD40 works a treat too.

Absolutely fantastic looking naked. Do not spoil it adding anything, it is spot on! Bellypan
Maybe, just maybe clear indicators. I love it.
Keep it clean!

Thanks mate. All of the work except the mirror was done by the previous owner. I'm ordering some iridium indicators tomorrow (finally payday!) which should just about finish it off.
