Title: Most likely my last build. and best.
Post by: Coastvl on October 01, 2008, 01:38 PM

I have started my final build (yeah right) and It should be a good one.
Some may know I'm a huge Jeff Watson fan. I have been planning this build for over 4 years now. The tires are what held me up. These things are bloody impossible to find. Massive thanks to Dave Cononetz on OS for these babies. Now I have 3  :D
I have everything now and just need to get my Proline V bars powdered Candy red. This one probably won't get ridden as the tires are just too rare.
I'm lovin it and taking my time.
Full pics when it's done.
R.I.P Jeff.

Man that'll be one awesome build.

I was hoping one day someone would do a rep of that bike, can't wait to see it. You just gotta love Bottema forks, anyone who says they don't like should be put down.  ;)
