Loving the green accent, not overdoing it which is an easy trap to fall into  :4_17_5:

Can't wait to see it finished  :daumenhoch:

sorry I missed your post Tom, very rude of me, I do apologise. I'm actually ok for caliper decals now too mate, as Mark @ Retrospect sorted me out. Webbie mate, i'm sure yours looks fine, it would be naff if we all built the same bikes. I've only kept this simple cos I got the Z rims cheap and Del had the decals with the green on, already made. Also, I liked the way Mani's done the Fox, limited amount of green with black and chrome, looks lush.

Ok...so this is 99.9% done now, padset arrived from Steve on Monday and the pedals off Dave (brummie).  :daumenhoch:

I'm not sure about the cables, they're slightly more 'yellow' than I wanted, may swap for black, what do you guys think?? :-\

Wot he said!!  Currently, your green in the decal and pad text is slightly orphaned.  I think the green cables give the green a bit more of a purpose..

Looking good..

Try this green dude. Savage are really good with their cables  :daumenhoch:

I got some of those 1st Terry, from Alan's, they're too dark, more like DC green, this is the problem i've got as pics don't really give a true colourmatch on the Bay. :daumenhoch:

Cheers fellas, i've tidied the front cable up with zip ties and will fit the rear cable when i've stopped drinking. :buck2:

Sadly when Dave Park designed this frame, he left off the front cable guide on the back of the forks for a Potts mod, I have these on my GT and Skyway. Good old zip ties. :daumenhoch:

Looking forward to riding this now. :smitten:
