Post by: Gnarlyscoots on December 20, 2011, 01:09 AM

Built this back earlier in the year and loved the finished project but, after a few wheel outs, as I ride my girls  :daumenhoch:  :LolLolLolLol: , the powder on the drops looked the worse for wear  :'(

So, I took this, along with the Haro, for a change of clothing  :coolsmiley:

Stunning Terry, I much prefer this look.  :coolsmiley:

Those tyre are super sexy. :smitten:

The only things i'd change though if it were mine would be to removed that GT seatpost decal and replace it with a DP one and i'd get scotty to do a custom set of valve caps - these aren't critisisms, just details i'd do myself. :daumenhoch:
