Can't wait to see it with the custom stem, it's going to look stunning.

I hope it rides as good as it looks 8)

What a stunning bike. You've really excelled yourself with this one. Tell the painter chappie to get on with the stem :lol: And then let us know how it rides.

I like it with the black stem actually, but I bet the painted one will look better

Grip change already planned/purchased - as stated above ;) But no point putting them on 'till I get the stem back :?

I love this bike. Brings back so many great memories of the local bike shop who used to be a Dave Lloyd dealer. So nicely made.

For some reason I want to lick it - the pinkish colour looks so tasty!!
