  4. Hi backtracker
    Thanks for the inspiration.
    Could you clarify a couple of things
    Front wheel is it a 19x2.5" or 17x 2.5"
    The tyres you get need to be rears on both front and back - correct?
    The copper caliper paint what brand is it
    Thanks
    Paul

  5. Hi paul,

    the first two bikes (red with silver engine and silver with green side panel number backgrounds)were both 19 x 1.85 front rims, the other two had 17 x 2.5 front rims and yes the front tyres are actually originally "rear" tyres.
    Not too sure on the colour code for the copper caliper paint but i think i bought it from halfords, it's not high heat paint either, almost all paints are good for 180 degrees.

    Hope this helps.

    Good luck with the build.

    1. Hi davide, the gaitors were simple universal type from ebay, just measure the fork leg diameter and chrome leg diameter and the length, then match them up with the ebay universal ones available.
