Bought it complete from a track racer, swapped the fork out and rode it for a couple of years rain, hail or shine. I can't bear to risk the beautiful paintjob anymore, so it only gets occasional sunny rides these days. Rebuilding it with some different parts (and the original fork). More photos and details to come sometime soon.
