Thanks Thom I've got an issue with the handlebars apparently there is a super chrome powder coating that's hard to match the gold is hard to match and the black translucent coat over the chrome is also hard to match not sure if James has a solution for this as the black coating is gone on the handle bars, but the section were the V is still has this coating for reference.
Could you ask him if he knows what I've been told about the powder coating on the chrome?
Cheers
Jay

Yeah she loves it to bits I think I need a comfortable seat and a 12" bike pump to finish it off! She just reaches the levers, but can't get full pull on them at the moment reckon give it another six months and it will fit like a glove for her!
