That's very kind Martin..... Have to say it wouldn't look like this without the help I get from this site.

I'm off to the bike show now but happy to post piccies as I progress. (still got chunks missing....)

Good to see your pics. That side stand is exactly the same as mine.

Hi, great to see you are making such a brilliant job of restoring the "old gel". The pics are absolutely great and do you credit! The close up pic of the side stand resting on the spring of the center stand bought back so many memories, that's exactly how she was from the very first day I encountered the bike in Sid's ownership back in the 70's and I never changed it all the years I had her as it never caused me any problems and she never fell over or off it. I have so many memories, as well as pictures, of the bike that I can share with you if you like, as i say its looking fantastic and I can't wait to see her finished. All the very best Mark

As Gerald's suggestion, can we see some pictures of Editor's Clubman please? They might provide inspiration to get back on the case......

Had a note from 'Editor' saying it's not his bike "It belongs to member James Rushton and we featured it in the January 2016 edition."

Sorry for any confusion.... (Did I mention how lovely it looked though?....)
