It’s entered. It’s stiff competition but life is for living!

Very nice build I have never succeeded to find one in my size, this is a legendary quality frame that is light and extremely strong.

This might be cheeky. Changed 95/96 decal to these earlier but similar colour. Ditched top tube wrap because I destroyed it in installation. Joystix left crank arm long gone so using a Syncros forged until I find a left unbroken crank arm. If, ever.
Thoughts?

That stem is really something else
I like the bright tires. Looking to one day use a similar set on a build
