Yummy, looks superb, the colours are awsome but i'd be looking for some DX's rather than SX's and i'd have to have a pad set aswell.  A Quad needs a padset as do all race bikes to be honest.  :4_17_5: :4_17_5: :4_17_5:

I love yellow on a Quad, doesn't get chosen that often.  :daumenhoch:

I would change the grips to plain black, the yellow's are a different shade & clash a bit  ??? this is just a small detail & probably just me being a bit  ::)

I think thats a great looking build, love that yellow Quad + all nice parts used   :coolsmiley:

The thing is with building Stu, you will never please everyone, so make sure your happy with it, i think it looks proper balanced and really nice. Pad sets are a must, but again thats only in my eyes.

Cracking build,  :4_17_5:

looks nice, simple colour scheme. i think dan is talking about your spokes, they look like they are laced with the spokes struggling against the holes(as in leading instead of trailing) on the back wheel. No biggy. 

only thing i would change is taking them reflectors off the pedals, other than that it's pukka. :4_17_5:

Yup, it's the spokes he's talking about . You need to re-lace them so that the spokes are angled in the same direction the holes in the rims are pointed  :daumenhoch:

Nice bike though  :4_17_5:
