You should work in Saville Row.
Thanks for the tips though. Might give that one a try.
How about doing a frame. Now that would be really Starboys wouldn't it.

very nice work, those seats look so classy, shame ive not got any show bikes, id hate to rip a rider after all that work. this is one of the reasons we should have a top tips section, even if it is only a sticky.....there are loads of good step by step guides that are invaluable, and more to the point, now lost.... :'(
