looks nice, change the seatpost though. if you ride it, you may end up cracking the seatube.

I think its bent (seatpost)

I'd lose that post before you damage your frame.... :(

Looks great otherwise.

Nice that pal.

As others have said it would be best to get rid of that post IMO.
It does look bent and doesn't look great.

Perhaps utilise the Potts mod on the stem too??

Other than that it's a cracking build and a nice change from the norm.

Well done pal.

Steve.  :daumenhoch:

That seat post has to go though ...... above all else like a few have already said it will damage the frame if you start riding it  :(

And if that happens, you'll end up in A&E after your scrotum get ragged under the rear caliper.  :shocked:
