Nice build

Still not 100% on the tyres/wheels but then again I'm someone that thinks coloured tyres are no go on any bike....never been a fan from the get go.

The tyres and wheels 'do' and 'don't do' it for me!!! :?

Would like a nice set of CK hubs in either silver or black on mavic ceramics with some black rubber 8)

Until that time......I think it will have to stay as is :)
