Post by: the_wheelie_king on December 05, 2009, 04:21 PM: I'm proud to say this bad boy is mine, and it's going to be the wife's christmas present. The brief was to get her a bike that's a doddle to ride and a 20" BMX was strictly not allowed. It also had to be green or pink as they are her two favourite colours. I went for a manly green because if she gets bored after half a dozen rides, I'm going to quietly dismantle it, shove it in the attic, and then give it to my lad when he's big enough. I doubt whether he'd want to be seen dead on a Hollywood pink version. However, to meet the request for pink I got Del to custom make me some stickers so I've hopefully ticked all the boxes.

Aston green is officially my all-time favourite colour and was the perfect crafty opportunity to see how one would have looked - I very nearly went for it when I was building my own OM but I changed my mind at the last minute and went for this blue instead:

In case anyone is wondering, the colour is Aston Martin Chiltern Green and I cannot recall anyone ever going for this shade on a build, so I figured it would be fun to go for something different. It looks like Dan has done a typically blinding job. Hopefully I'll get to see it tomorrow. It would appear that he truly is the paintmeister ;)
