Great Job Jon  :daumenhoch:, the up the gusset shot is the only thing that gives it away  :2funny:..looks as good as an old one to me mate ...not the usual type of gusset shot i like to look at , :angel: but it`s a great looking bike ...  :smitten:
is that one of the new redline chainrings ? they look good!!

yes,chainwheel is the newer type,that will be getting changed when I make my mind up what to go for,the frame doesnt look too bad except for the gusset as you say ;)

Alright JohnnyGoose, what's wrong with a Shotgun on a rider eh.......

Yep, I couldn't agree more but I just slung it together quick last night to check I liked it before it gets a fresh powder and some Del magic decals - gonna be a custom set as these are bobbins and just put on to see how it looked....... oh, and it's a rattle-can spray job too >:D

Can't wait to get it done properly :daumenhoch:
