First time posting on here, after a couple of years of big bang ownership.
Cant say its been an easy journey, my bike was a bit unloved and uncared for.
Getting there mechanically, but cosmetically it needs some help.

Anyone else running a similar age/model? Mine's is the bluish white cocktail (red frame
and swinger). White is not a good colour to maintain.

Just picked one up tonight 2.5k! It's a bit rough but not too bad. Give it a quick ride tomorrow see if I'll keep it or break it.

I think the 14B is a great road bike, regret selling mine, but I really wasn't using it and I got a very good offer for it.

They need the ecu flashing to sort out the on off throttle (which is how I ended up starting VeloxRacing) and bodywork wise some of the Chinese bodywork is a cost effective way to get them looking better on a budget. I do think the candy frame and white ones will be the ones that are sought after in the future.

Mike,
On off throttle? Please explain.

Also, I've replaced a couple of the plastics as they were too badly damaged when I got it.
Properly torn between painting the plastics the original white colour, or something different. White is a major pita to keep looking ok.
