So this is Yo number two, you may say I haven't finished the Aquafade yet and you would be right !!, thats a slow burner to ensure its perfect and is coming on nicley

This '91 is going to be my main rider, so this initally will be put together to ride and slowly upgrade as time ,money and the need arises.This is going Single speed as I ride my Wicked Single speed more than anything and love the simplicity of single speeds.I'm just awaiting on a few parts and its ready to build

The paint is stunning, it changes in the light and is quite Fluorescent !

updates to follow ......

They do look rather wonky in both photos to me too.... Perhaps it's just the perspective. Lovely frame though!
