New project
Michael - 29/11/12 at 01:05 PM

After finally completing and now road registered the locust, I was after a new project.

I know the proud owner of a Sinclair C5.

I've had it two weeks but done nothing as the thing had been sat outside under a bin bag for over 4 years as the previous owner died three years ago.

I have now received three tyres and inner tubes from various suppliers as the old ones had rotted away in all the years outside and they are the originals.

Will fit this weekend and take it for a pedal. The workings been cut about, but at least I can fix that and then strip it down, clean and paint chassis and then rebuild.

I have some bits to get.

Yes the high vis mast I always thought a good idea, but they are mega expensive.

Probably go with making a mast of my own and yes possibly with a whippy aerial.
