Cheers Mate.

The first thing is going to be new seals all round as most have perished and a liberal coat of waxoil for the winter ahead. He's going to be used every day. I'll look out for you on the smooth roads of Bristol :)

I'm thinking of keeping the Gemini's for the winter then putting the BRM's on for the summer while I get the gemini's refurbed.

Bt Justice - your gem's are in far better condition than mine and thats not the way i really want to go look wise.

If anyone wants a set of gemini's let me know and make an offer. there are no tyres included.

Each of the black ones had about 4 layers of paint.
