Stunning build, you did a cracking job, it's superb now.

Please put a chainstay sticker to protect the frame from the chain, other than that, it's spot on, well done Smile

Gobsmacking. Looks newer than new! And respect for getting it muddy!

Thats a fantastic looking finish, did you get the stem/bars done at the same time.
Would it be rude to ask the cost of the paintwork?
