I've been really happy with it.

Originally I had it finished in bronze-gold metallic, but I had him respray it a couple of years later. It is, to my knowledge, unique to me. I had it finished in metallic green over metallic amber, with the world championship bands on the joins. The lugs are a beautiful shape and cut out, and the fork crown is embossed with the C.

Good to know there are still Ron fans around.

Hi Jeff, is your Cooper the same one listed on e-bay right now? Nice looking ride by the way and pretty unique!
