For this one I went all out. I've wanted a BMW since I first saw a TMX smashing through the park in '99 or '00 so now that I was ready to order I spent days and weeks planning out every inch and no expense was sparred. As soon as I got the frame I handed it over to a long time friend and noted artist JEDI for some paint. Now with the frame back and all the parts assembled the bike has taken shape.

Love the hand painted logo and the paint job as a whole is sick!
Is this frame bombproof heavy or chuck-around light? (or a perfect balance of both of course? :lol: )

Yes very nice paintjob indeed, loving those graffiti-straightletters. Reminds me about New york subway cars from the eighties :wink:
