Very nice build you have going on there  :daumenhoch: its a tricky one with the frame and forks tho it would be a shame to powder over that alloy frame maybe think about just powder forks and run a matching decal set,just a thought tho, a lot of rippers had different coloured forks  :daumenhoch: what ever you do look forward to seeing it  ;)
