Sweet build, and an hollow stem bolt potts mod would sweeten it up no end.

top notch build mate, looks the nuts!

if it were mine though (as i think you've built it to ride??) i'd swap the tyres for some cheap pork chop repops instead of making those lovely GT tyres all dirty.  and secondly i'd stick a nice 1 piece crank on her instead of the twin pinch flights

looks great though  :daumenhoch:


Oh and shocking tyre logo to valve placement line up  ;)   ;D

dont tell me there is an actual placement of valve to logo  :tickedoff: :crazy2: :LolLolLolLol:........do the labels have to be opposite the valve then or next to it just for future reference :daumenhoch:
