Sharp. Did you consider a red hub for the rear to match the other red stuff you have on the bike. Overall, a looker.
 
Big urban tyres do tend to look spot on on rigid Konas...also good for s**t UK potholed roads as well :D
 
Terrific. Looks great and above all a great bike to ride. It must have cost you a bit in the end, but even so what would you have got for the same money in a new bike? Nothing that rode so well nor gave anything like the same pride of ownership, I would imagine.

My only regret is the lack of decals, as I think it would look even better. I thought your strategy was stealth and anti-theft, but with Cooks, XTR, Thomson etc that seems to have gone out of the window. So in the absence of a decal, it kind of looks as though it's called Fat Frank.

The colours would go well.....
