As you can see a start has been made on the ST70.    Problem is – the bike was stripped and the rotten parts discarded 15 – 20 years ago so its not until its being put back together that we’re finding out just how many parts are missing.

Trying to keep the bike as standard as possible, although the pressed steal frame had to be blasted (you cant get into the frame to clean it up sufficiently) and so we went for powder coating for longevity  – so the bikes now in satin black. Parts are either very cheap or stupidly expensive on this bike so unsure how long it’s going to take as it’s a bit of a ‘fun’ project. We’ll probably replace parts when we find them (like the fork inners / lowers which are functional but scruffy) at a reasonable price.
