It's 2nd hand this frame but looks super straight n will look good powdercoated up, and I've had a new rear cradle n shock n I've order'd that bush kit you sent me on 1of them links and I've had a set of 2nd hand polished forks for the 87 not Avin up side downers now but these forks will jus need alittle bit of polishin n they will look like new again :) ... I've brought a new polishin kit with 9 different heads to polish the rear swing arm to match the forks .... Will put all pictures up when all me bits av landed from the states, I wasn't expecting this delay but these things are sent to try us, I will send u pictures of the build progress coz its always good to av some ones opinion and I'm puttin a build portfolio together aswell coz then I will have proof that I've build a new old bike  :evil:

I don't know anyone that has a 87 frame except for the two on ebay.
I'm surprised nobody on this site has one..
I would email that guy again.
Sometimes emails get lost in the mix.
I'll check around but don't hold your breath on me finding one quickly  :|
