lLovin' that  :4_17_5:


Perfect balance with the all silver components

 and all better for  not adding coloured anno parts which would distract from that awesome frameset colour  :coolsmiley:

Very nice indeed, I do love a painted bike so much better than a chrome one (yes I know my R&R is chrome but life is a bitch sometimes).  :LolLolLolLol:

In the process of getting some pads sorted Chris...plus I may revert to my original grip choice- Oakley 2's...

So not much but not 100%...!  ::)

And yes you're right about my decision on part choice to let the F+F be the star...!  :daumenhoch:

Im not worthy of your comments, thank you all!  :-*

I know that sounds really lame but I really do appreciate your comments guys. I build my bikes for me & post them on here for you guys to love, hate or take from them what you will.

I cant deny that people saying they really like your build feels nice! But that is a massive bonus as I think its a very personal sense of satisfaction upon completion.

Ill shut up now as you are probably throwing virtual rotten veg yelling "get off...!"  ;D
