Evening guys
Quick review on an oldie (but a goldie) from my collection.
As it's Easter Sunday, a time for family, I've spent the evening out in my garage (affectionately know as my (No Swearing Please) cave) cleaning this up.
It was originally a Wasp Sting 1000, bought in South Africa for about 600Rand (or about £40 at the time in proper money).
It used to have a layer of (what I assume was) blue gloss paint on the edges and back.
It's looking a bit worse for wear now a days, and I've taken the original stickers (and paint) off the bat and given it a new identity. I just can't bring myself to get rid of her though.
By no means a looker with 7 nearly straight grains and the blemishes all over, but does she ping!
The spec
Weight: 2lb9 & 3/4 with 2 and a half chevron grips.
Edges: 25mm
Spine height: 60mm
And some proper pictures
As you can see here, she's looking a bit used, but still in one piece!
