Ordered the handbook

[WDCO42]

Hello Paul, had a look at your future (?) G model. It looks very nice, even as said Mark, there were non original litle things. One more I have seen is that the tool box isn't correct. It is more triangular, and the top of the box is parallel to the frame, that isn't the case there. I'd look at too at the front brakes cable routing, it looks a bit strange. The rear stand is the very sought after WDCO one, so a bit older that the one that should be on the bike, but who cares, as long as you have one. The rear brake arm should have to be "under" and not "up" as it is (ie the brake rod is quite parallel to the ground, and not to the lower part of the rear frame). One thing that really misses is the side stand, that hopefully, you can buy complete to hour host's. The bike is at a bit more than 4000 £, it makes a lot of money for a not too much original bike, especially when you see that Hitchcok's sells one that looks totally original to a bit less than 3000£, and an other one to just 3000 £...

I looked careffully at tbe Ebay G's fork as I told you that the brake looked a bit strange. I now know why : the fork ends are of a newer model. The correct ones are a bit different, as you can see on the "Part books online". That explains why the front brake lever has that position. Sorry for the bad news, but at that price, the bike shoud have to be quite perfect.
