Looks even better in the flesh..

Very nice. not many bikes could carry the black and gold theme off, really suits this though

You have pulled out all the stops on this Simon. Wow! Awesome bike. I love it.
The Spinergys look better with no logos.

I went out on a short blast on the kilauea the other day and thought about your build.... Congratulations dude, you should be proud of yourself

Very balanced build... just the right amount of gold and the silver of the fork crown, seatpost and rear dropouts balance well. Looking great.
My only reservation, and I can’t put my finger on why, is the cranks... though I haven’t got an alternative in mind. Maybe more ‘silver’ than the rest?
Minor point though - fantastic attention to detail.

Cool, signing in for updates. I know it’s a motorbike but is this the sort of thing you’re thinking about?

What for the photo shoot? Was thinking of something along those lines but maybe
with 4 wheels and a little older

They also do that bike in the Lotus Green and Gold and that looks equally as awesome

A bit of finishing off...shifter perches finally arrived from the States

so swapped out the STX pods and look much classier

Lovely build and great effort on all the details. Really love the gold maguras, really nice.

I’d of voted for the tri-spokes myself, I find the spinergies too distracting.

…and my suggestion for retro clear grips would be these Onza ules reproductions, by far the comfiest grips of all that I have tried:
