why have you got sea defenses on your drive?
its an old DB so it counts as reet nice
Makes a refreshing change to the usual restored Kona. It gets my thumbs up!
where's the horse?
Steed 😆
Nice, I always like the first edition XTR stuff - looks great.
I keep forgetting how long and low everything was 20 years ago, it's amazing that we didn't endo over everything around with stems like that.
Cheers folks.
RRP back in 1993 was a rather dizzy £1440!
How it would have looked 🙂
