Yep, black Kashi is what this bike needs Gray.

Nice build though all the same pal.  :coolsmiley:

Nice! But agree on the seat, that seat has no place on any bike let alone a Torker  ;)

Maybe some race tyres instead of freestyle but awesome looking thing  :daumenhoch:

If you wanna keep the price down, and you're going to ride it, then you can't go wrong with remake Tioga Comp III's from Alan's, £37 posted, or thereabouts. :daumenhoch:
