23 - Frame
Besides wallpapering a bedroom I've got the new tubing cut and the ends machined with a 20mm cutter so they blend with the frame. It fits well.
I've also been making a new side stand and bracket. It's made exactly like the Bultaco one. I could have engineered it to be better but since the original lasted 40 years I'm sure this one will last just as long.
It's all coming together nicely, when it's finished it'll be built to a higher spec than standard what with the new shock mounts on the swinging arm and the clever bearing choice for the engine.
