i jammed the crank arm in a wooden drawer!

all this lovely little lot is for the AA, really starting to come together now,
i had discovered a bit of a problem.. the shade of grey in the kona decals on the frame is a close match to the xtr grey also this almost exactly matches the gunsmoke shade from hope. oh dear so, xtr hopegrey or black is only going to cut it.
