Re:
Cheers guys, I personally love how the bike's come out, probably my best build to date. The black/silver white/orange full XT is the look I wanted and I couldn't be more pleased with the build - lots of thought went in and lots of agonising over what to bolt on in attempt to restore and refurb - so I'm well chuffed that other retro and orange fans like the build also..
Most of my builds are more to ride and wreck than restore. If you havn't guessed by it now, I'm an orange fan, and I felt that the frame was early enough to deserve a decent refurb.
Still, I've got to get out and ride it at the weekend though, come what weather may... regardless of what presents still havn't been wrapped yet etc. etc... :xmas-cool:
