Leave it imho

Then again, each to their own, and it's the owners frame to do with what makes 'em happy - just glad there's some more people coming over to mid-school now (so long as they don't do show builds and actually ride the buggers)

... yeah, this one wasn't particularly infected --- but hey.... onwards now and upwards. ....

No point crying over spilt milk lads. We all love a survivor but the deed has been done so lets get behind what could be an awesome build.

What colour are you going to paint it? Im really loving the unusual S&M colours like Forest and olive green, beige, Navy Blue, purple, et, etc these days. Forks cleaned up a treat as well.

Looking forward to seeing this come together.
