What rear wheel on the KR1S? Looks a 17 matching the style of the front?

A Technomagnesium appears very nice but I have to live in the poor std world. We lavish attention on our other collection but I hope we can put together a good effort in 2015.

A few years ago we had a samurai. It was missing quite a few parts, there was no top end on the motor and a few other bits and pieces. I struggled to find the missing parts so we sold it in bits.
Still don't see many, even at the shows.

MJ I advertised the Samurai as a project first, but all the responses were from people who just wanted parts, so I sold it like that. The wheels were the first to go, then the bottom end of the motor. The frame and log book were the last to go and we had that for ages. All of which suggested to me that parts were difficult to find. All the cash that that raised went into our KR1s.
A friend met a chap at Croft who was racing either a Samurai or an Avenger. He told him about ours and gave him my number. When he rang all we had left was the frame.
