I intended to make it look a little used so things like the cable, tyres, caliper etc are nice and used and not perfect.

To answer a couple of questions. It's easy for me to take the photos there as it's my land with my lock up so I pull a bike out and click away, could be a bit more creative granted but I can't be arsed  :LolLolLolLol:

And Joff, as you'll notice the fork Rod used were actually Tuff forks and not Early RI like I have and I tried a decal on them but it wouldn't stick because of the shape  ;). So might have to get a thinner decal made or something.

I did think the forks were different , they look more rounded on the shoulders in the og pic . A thinner decal should do the trick Ash  ;) 

Cool bike mate and i personally love the survivor/used look , adds to it's appeal imo  8)

kungfunky:
I actually have the correct fork Joff, but they're nos and at £500 a set I'll not be stripping them that's for sure.
The decal I used kept peeling away as the forks curve so I had to ditch it.

I agree with the survivor look quotes and this is starting to become one of my fave bikes because of that.

Mikku:
I'm going for a survivor/used look on my current build and if it turns out anywhere near as good as this I'll be well happy!! Love it!  :smitten:

kungfunky:
Couldn't keep looking at this bike with the wrong seat and post combo so had to get it changed over.
It now sports the correct Laguna seat post, PL-1 clamp and seat.

Looking how it really should and I'm Mclovin it.
