Love the battery box, made from steel floor plating.

It needs rear sets. Surely something could be worked out?

I like it.

Both.

It's... not quite how I would have done it.

 

I go for: looks rather good actually and how?

Quite. Who, in their right mind, thinks that a cafe racer should be
decked out in the one true colour, the tank should be either metal or a
nice bright colour such as yellow.

And no rearsets, ffs.

Oh, you're just grumpy because your car's been nicked.

It has potential.

It's less horrible if you put the cunting link!

I sort of like it, but I don't know why.[/QUOTE]

See Champ? See? You're wrong. Bear likes it, so...

Oh bugger.

Is this the world's most top-heavy cafe racer?

It might be both, but whatever, it's the best looking CX I've seen in a
long while, if ever.

Needs Rear-sets though ...

I rather like it.

It /needs/ rearsets. I'm looking at you here, Nigel.

I would imagine it could also do with a suspension refresh, improved brakes
and the forks stachions slid up through the triple clamps by about six
inches.

It would probably be simpler to carry out a similar exercise on a
Eurosport - that old nail of Sweller, perhaps.

 

Funky, but still got the rearset problem.

 

I'm not an old nail, I'm still in my 30s.

 

Has Champ's car been nicked?

 

Only the SAAB. I'd have said that the BMW would have been a much likelier
candidate.
