well i,ve checked it out and this is really strange,well it is to me?you was,nt far out mike with sheffield,it is actually rotherham,and if you check it out on the map and zoom in,it shows the postcode to be smack bang in the middle of the m18.not a street or anything rite in the middle of the m18.how strange have a look on a map app on here,like google maps like im looking at.

[retrobiker]

maybe it was a street in 1978.... 33 years ago tony

[tonyg1971]

[tonyg1971]

cool mike,keep going mate and keep us posted with pics,,as this was one that you thought you was gonna have ya work cut out with,,but i can,t wait to see this completed.

[retrobiker]

may need a new rear wheel as chrome is very poor

most of the bike will be saved but some parts beyond resto

i think this will end up a rider at best, i have a good chrome rim hanging in my shed but same old problem the wheel building

[tonyg1971]

jase is class at building wheels,its an option if jase ain,t too busy,but saying that he might be as i know he has his restos and other things going on.

[retrobiker]

all primed ;D

a good use for a patio table
