The Smoke and Dart are a definite improvement. Looking mighty fine.

That's a shame! To be honest perhaps the green hubs would've been a bit too much, but I think black rims would suit the bike!

..well because a YO Eddy is a nice frame and you can just build it as you want, it will be always nice! :D

It's time for BOTM! :D:wink:

Actually I'm waiting for the ODI grips, then I would be ready but without them it's also nice.
..so if you like this bike and this thread with an extraordinary number of pictures :shock: (which has cost me much trouble) then please vote for it.

Whicked build thread, has kept me up avidly reading.. No idea how I missed this one :oops: , only came across it having looked at this months offerings for B.O.T.M

Good luck buddy this is going to take some beating into second place

You've obviously got a passion for Photography, Many of the pictures are Art in their own right... loved the use of "Conkers" as a prop in one photo you've used in this build thread.
