I Am new to this forum as far as being a user. Always viewed it for nostalgia reasons . I recently acquired a Thruster Tim Judge replica .The only way I can describe this scoot is that it's a barn find in every sense of the word .Somebody really took care of it back in the day and I guess it was just forgotten about .I have a bunch of questions about this bike I just don't get and maybe someone could shed some light on it for me.  It has ACS Mike Buff sig. Z rims in white with white  Acs hubs .The spokes are junked , The rims are true but they are dirty as sh--.. I dunno what to do as far as should I clean them and with what? Get them relaced and roll with it ?   Or should I just sell them to someone who can take care of them better than I could . The frame is sweet as hell  Chrome no rust  but about 30 years of dust on it . It has GT Pro bars That have a little rust but no peeling and the stickers are junk .Again  Chrome polish  ? Compound ? Or send it down the river . I mean I think it would be a good builder  But is it too much to take on for a first time restorer ?
As far as the bike  .It's just a strange animal .Back in the day I didn't race I only did flatland and some ramp .I had a Redline Proline . I didn't race so this is like a different animal to me totally. It has an Elina checkered pole seat SR one piece Sugino ring and a Tioga Spider KKT traps with a sealed BB. Buff rims GT bars Oakley 5 grips black no name headset a black P.O.S. neck MX lever and rear brake . Very odd to me that someone would build this ride with all good stuff but cheap out on the neck and the headset .How did  Thrusters come stock ? Black and Chrome with some of that stuff on it . Or was it a totally built  From a bare frame . A little insight would help out here guys .Thanks alot . J
