I don't usually post pictures until a bike is complete, but I like this one so much I thought I would post some piccies.

The bike is 98% complete, just some brake, seat and plate stuff to update.

I also love the Mario and Luigi valve caps

I have really enjoyed building this one and really love the way it shines in the sun...

I agree Kev, I have some in transit, as I said at the start it isn't finished yet, but it was really sunny and I just needed to show it.

Excellent

I have 1 set of og pads on a mid bike & around 4 sets of the retro pads & dont use any of them on any bikes

Question for you guys, should I keep and use the Selle Italia Criterium seat or get myself a S&M shield seat?

Dannywhac · « **Reply #16 on:** March 08, 2014, 10:19 PM »

I'd keep the Selle Sean - the shield seats (imho) look a bit naff in comparison. You end up with a bike that's covered in S&M stuff and loses that individual build look

Gish · « **Reply #17 on:** March 08, 2014, 10:27 PM »

looking real nice sean

keep the seat on dude but lower the seatpost

WINI · « **Reply #18 on:** March 08, 2014, 10:28 PM »

That's lush. Got a couple of mates over here that are S&M mad and I reckon would love this

stidds · « **Reply #19 on:** March 08, 2014, 11:09 PM »

Thanks guys, will keep the seat on it, I prefer that as it saves me loads of cash

GavinDavis · « **Reply #20 on:** March 08, 2014, 11:12 PM »

Thats lovely!! Cracking build!!

Discostu · « **Reply #21 on:** March 09, 2014, 03:28 AM »

Oh wow, that looks spot on.

Finally someone who feels the same way as I so about S&M seats!

Ive never seen one on a bike and thought it looks right on there. In my opinion there were always better options out there.

Gotta agree, 90's s&m seats are shite looking!!!
