Finally finished this, although i think it might change a little over time :)
It was inspired by Maurice Meyers orange beat but done on a bit less of a budget ;D

really nice that the gt tyres look great on there and the red bits really blend in with the orange , can't fault it, its lush , think i prefer the white seat but i too can't decide ;D
-
Beatastic mate... :) I think the white seat balances it out but I myself like the orange one. :daumenhoch: I need an orange beat...
-
Nice, that, Rob. :daumenhoch:
Looks remarkably like Dan's.... RAD's had Twins! :smitten:
-

Aceballs, orange seat for me!
-
Nice build, i wouldn't have thought it but that red sits really well with the orange :daumenhoch:
-
Looking great rob. :smitten: :smitten:
I'm undecided on the seat as well. ??? They both look ok. :daumenhoch:
-
OoooooARRRRRRR tis a cracker is that Roberto :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley: :smitten:
White seat for sure ;)
but I'd probably go white grips with orange or red donuts too
Sell the orange seat and grips :-X ;) :LolLolLolLol:
-
What are the brake lever covers Rob ????
-
RAD! :daumenhoch: Have you tried a white seat post, out of curiosity, with the orange seat??
-
quality build pickle :daumenhoch:
nice to see a different take on a orange beat 8)
-
Nice Robert, who done the pedals
-
SBD did my pedals, brakes, clamp, bars, stem and power disc.
Andy, the lever covers are Honda ones........Maurice used them which was my inspiration.

Nice Robert, who done the pedals

RAD! :daumenhoch: Have you tried a white seat post, out of curiosity, with the orange seat??

Nice work Rob. Love it.
Can't decide which seat looks best actually, they both look great to be honest.
Streetbeats.......love em. :smitten:
-
I think the orange seat with a white seatpost would balance it well.
-
Very nice Rob, Orange seat for me. I like the seat and grips to match. Try orange seat and white post :)
-
Nice one! I'd love a beat :smitten:
Personally I prefer the white seat. Just like they were on the advert
