Rewind 12 months

It's actually more than 12 months ago now that work began on this new bike project. This time last year all i had was this headstock tube and a bottom yoke.

It doesn't feel like much progress has been made recently but I've spent a lot of hours working on it, there's just not a lot visually to show for it.
I have now patched up the bodyshell after cutting it into 3 pieces, and the seat is a lot better- i can at last sit on it, sort of comfortably!

The front fairing was a bit of a gamble as i wasn't sure i could make it fit and look right, but it seems to sit ok on the bike and doesn't foul the steering, or suspension etc. The next nice day i get I'll finish the last batch of brazing jobs, all the small brackets, footpeg mounts, chainguard stays etc. They're all made and ready, just need fixing on.
