I've had some update pics off SBD today. It's been said before, and I'll say it again, he is the top man where finishing is concerned.
These were as Dan recieved them from Niphos.
Then, Dan got to work to start his magic on it. He's taken the raw frame set and polished every square inch to get it as smooth and flat as possible.
Knowing Dan's reputation for quality, I reckon this would be mint, just lacquered over the raw metal, but that could be for another project on another day.
I wanted it black as I haven't got a black bike, and I had seen other GT's that looked amazing in black, so Dan cracked on.
This will be with me this week, so I may fit the headset and get an outdoor shot. I know that Dan's pics aren't doing this justice.
This may be my MK rider, that depends on if I don't start getting stuff for the Hutch first, we'll see.

Cheers Chris, the roll will soon be slowing down with the arrival of tiny feet in October.
I had an idea about 2 years ago that I'd like to have one bike in my collection from each of the main remembered manufacturers BITD, so I did a wish list, just by sheer luck a few of them got boxed off, it will be a long time before the last few get ticked off it I'm afraid, my priorities and responsibilities will change soon. :'(

Bit of an update on this. Fitted the DC seat clamp, then the Tange MX2 headset which I used a mint polished Tange headlock (I took this off my Kuwie, that now has a black one).
I got the decals off Del this week, really happy with them, so fitted those. Also I've run out of cash with buying the Hutch, so used the seat post and seat from my Aero Pro Burner.
I'm really happy with this so far.
