stunning, masterpiece, awe-inspiring, breathtaking

TBH, these superlatives don't come close to describing this build Mark, I'm totally blown away by every aspect of it.
Not one part's been overlooked..............................

Now get out there and thrash the nuts off it.... :twisted: :twisted:

Steve :)

Looks great! Paint & decals are 11/10

Have you tried using only the Alfine-tensioner? What does the blackspire add?
