Cheers 'firedfromthecircus', it had heater on it a few hours yesterday, and hung over rad in garage over night too.

IT IS FINISHED!!!!!

Had a weeks holiday and been slowly bejazzling the bike with all the bling I have collected and restored over the last year. The final items arrived in the post this morning so I got to work straight away... , well chuffed, will take it for a spin later and make some final adjustments.

A big thanks to everyone on the forum, some great knowledge and of course finding the parts required from trusted members made the build a happy one.

Anyway here's some photos (sorry only ipad quality).

Re:

Well that's just cracking! Loving the colour coordinating with the rims, bottle cage and outer cables and that colour looks great out in the daylight What a great job you've done

Only personal preference of course but the post and saddle don't do it for me - they look like they've been robbed off another bike Looks like it might be more my size than yours too

Self-painted build - inspiring! Love the wheel/hub combination too.

Cheers Raidan

The seat and post were bought for this build, was gonna go with leather grips to match the saddle but changed my mind, saddle may change to a black Flite in time anyway.

And thanks mrkawasaki it's been an enjoyable build!

The sooner the better IMHO. sorry

But apart from that, what an awesome job! :mrgreen:
The paint looks fantastic and the build overall is stunning. Good work fella.


edit to add: and the garage is looking pretty sweet too!

Re:

Classy!

Love the colour, geometry is perfect, build is sweet.

Flite would look awesome on it, it would finish it off a treat

Classy build! Just the right amount of gold bling without getting overbearing. What kind of hubs are those? They look like Edcos. A black saddle would look nicer IMO.

Looking good Calvin!

Really like the gold of the wheels and Ringle cage against the deep metallic colours of the paint.

Enjoy it mate .

Re:

good work - love the colour and the fact this is sprayed at home - thats spot-on!

+1 for a change of post and addition of a flite!
