Looks great! Get it muddy! But wash
It straight after to preserve paintwork.

Out of curiosity how much of a pain was it to build those wheels? Snowflake and Clark Kent pineapple, good or bad combo?

i did not build the wheels i got them already assembled but i believe the hubs are designed to be built snowflaked ,,think there is less lateral movement with the design so a stiff wheel i think

Ah alright. I think odyssey svelte/triple traps in turquoise will look awesome.
 
Nice bike with a lot of attention to detail!

Minor things I spotted:
- As much as I like black chainrings, I think silver/titanium rings would look better here as they then correspond to the freewheel cassette color and the silver/turquoise derailleurs. With blackwall tires, this impression may change.

- The dust caps for the Joystix are not from John Grafton. The Grafton ones had a single slot and no hex-hole.

- As you are obviously trying to not mix and match too much, I think Ringle Holeys would match the Moby a bit better than the CBR QRs (although a little less exclusive). Or exchange the Moby for a CBR seat post - surely no problem! ;)


Speedtraps certainly fit the other Grafton parts.

Have fun riding it! I am curious to know how the Precision Billet parts perform - I also still have a set somewhere including the Pro-Shifts but never rode them.

Cheers,
Andy
