the ‘65’ version... Well, Dave’s goal
was to build the bike but to have
his own bespoke parts department
so he can rebuild and change the
bike into different styles without
lots of unsightly brackets sticking
out all over the place. “It wasn’t
too much to ask, was it?” he
says, although we suspect Bod
might not have the same answer!
Anyway, Dave says that this is his
favourite version and it would be
a shame to change such a superb-
looking bike. After all, there’s
plenty of Bullets out there...
