I thought I would post a reminder of what it looked like when I first received it about two years ago.
We had the bike at the RSL where the party was held. It was a great talking piece and a good opportunity to show to everyone in the family. This is Charz, she is still full of beans and loves to reminisce the old times.
Myself and Richie at the New Norfolk cycle track where Pop used to race.That is the old club rooms in the back ground. We know also know the build date of the bike. It was custom built for Pop in 1946. It was his most cherished possession and was very well looked after.

Only one word comes to mind...AWESOME!
That restoration looks absolutely fantastic, you and your family should be proud! The painter did a fantastic job of the pin stripes and those wheels came up great. What brand are the cranks? Is it unusual to see square taper rather than cottered cranks for this period?
Looks great, Andrew. You and Richie should be proud of your efforts! A labour of love for sure. love Biff
Looks awesome Bro! I would have loved to have been there to see the reaction on Charz when she saw it! You and Richie did a fantastic job.

Thank you Andrew and Richie for your Pops bike restoration. I cannot believe it has come up so well and I know you are aware what it has meant to me and the rest of the family.Pop and the bike was where it all started for the family.Memories are so precious. Your Charz.
