Hi All, well, i got home late last night, and saw a revere, a bit tatty, minus front end on ebay. after a phone call today, i have managed to secure the bike for £60! i have my eye on a cbr front end complete with calipers, discs, wheel etc, to go for a twin disc front end like thatsawkwards bike for now, the plan is to go and pick it up, get it home, grovel to my mates to see if i can borrow their garage for a bit longer....... and try to get the engine running. if that goes well, start project #2 if it wont run at all, i can break her for parts. but i really fancy getting it rebuilt ;D wish me luck with my no doubt impending divorce

Hmmm... can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something missing..... Re colour scheme - I think it would be cool to do a desert storm Revere....

Not wanting to rain on anybody's parade.....
Have you checked that the engine turns over ?
What's the milage on the clocks.... Oh wait....
It would be interesting to see if you could put it together with parts donated by forum members.
I've got some front forks that you could have gratis, if it leads to another revere rising from the grave......
Not a bad REG plate NRK = Anarchy !

dude! you are really a star ;D at the moment, i have my eye on a partly dismantled ntv on ebay that isn't too far from me. if i can get that for a reasonable price, i might just be able to revive this revere, and sort out comets frame problem at the same time finger crossed yet again. oh, and i like the idea of a desert strike revere

Love it when a plan comes together. I am sure your wife will love her new bike May be a plan to let her pick the colour.

Not a bad REG plate NRK = Anarchy ! thinking about this, i have had a lot of offers from people for parts, so maybe i could do a plain colour, and then have anybody who donated bits sign it in paint pen, then lacquer it? i could also plaster the forum web address all over it? basically, i'm open to ideas
