    Certainly getting cooler here too Paul bro.. I've been assembling the winter fuel situation.. which means a load of wood shed loading !! lol
    That's really cool about the '73 Fizzy.. mine was a very early model too as that would have been the year my Mum and Dad bought me mine...
    wish I still had it !! That new bracket will renew the bike ! ..shame you had to cut it but ..Ah well !!
    Ha ha ! 'Snail mail'.. I receive things sometimes that I forgot I bought !! lol Have an awesome weekend Paul bro !
    30 quid well spent there mate.. I used to live near Southampton !! That RSW used to have a chequered bag on the back of it.. my Cuz Rosalind
    had one !! ..superb !!

      Hi Andy mate yes my woodshed is almost full up ready for winter slog we haven't even had a proper summer yet lol 😂. Yes it is a shame I had to cut the crank off but now all new bearings are fitted and identical crank and arms on way for bargain price.... Oh yes.... Have been doing other stuff on the new project fizzy too hopefully loads to chat about next vid cheers 🥂.

Keep up the great content and have a great weekend mate 🍻

      Hi Josh mate yes couldn't believe me luck with that RSW so original it's unreal. Hopefully will get pair of forks soon as the rebuild has started on the new project fizzy and hopefully in the future will come across more early choppers, maybe see something over carboot tomorrow would really like a nice chipper and tomahawk to add to collection lol 😂 will have to get a bigger shed for next summer lol 😂 Have a great weekend yourself cheers 🥂.

    You struck gold with that RSW! I've been looking for one in that confition & price for ages but up here they'd be asking £100+ 😢

      @paulmartin4971 A few minutes ago I looked on marketplace for RSW's within a 30 mile radius, there's a few around all over £80. Most were £100 or more. 😪 It's not a bike I'd ride much so I wouldn't pay that for one but 30 quid is well worth a punt. 🙂 As for me buying an old Chopper, I haven't gone off the idea but I've run out of room in the garage and to be honest the Burners and Grifter are just ornaments. I'm more into bikes I can actually ride these days. I bought a 1990 Raleigh Lizard mountain bike a month or two back for a tenner. Cleaned it up, bought new tyres and love it! ❤️

    What tool do you use to tighten or release the bottom bracket nut ?

      Hi Mike just a hammer and flat screwdriver also large plumbers grips can be used cheers 🥂

    Awesome. That little RSW is well worth that money. To put it in perspective the little cable tidy is worth £20 then the wheels a further £60... definitely a keeper in that condition.

      Yes Mike I know if it wasn't so original and in such good condition I wouldn't have bought it, rides lovely cheers 🥂.
