Looks alright mate, but that powder is soo thick? Almost ruins that lines of that stem and that powerdisc. Looking forward to seeing it done though
think you also have the cranks fitted wrong, the smallest hole on the power disc is showing,and that should have the cranks in it..
Does anyone have any suggestions as the best way to apply my new decals to the frame and forks?Someone I asked the other day mentioned spraying a mist of water to allow them to slide into the desired position, this should eventually evaporate.I ask this as the Trick Star down tube sticker is pretty big, and more importantly it was expensive and took ages to arrive, I'd hate to muck it up.cheers

I usually put a couple of temporary markers at both ends of the frame decal to indicate the centre of it (electricians tape cut into a triangle/arrow shape) - then work out where the centre of the down tube is (by placing decal on the frame without removing the backing) and put a couple of temporary markers on the frame so both line up. Then carefuly apply. Sounds like a faff but always worked for me as I was scared of using water and c0cking the job up...
kin hell what a transformation, sweet Dude were you the geezer at the Cycle ride in Brum who knew Mani on the white TRM? If not, no worries, might be getting you mixed up with some-one else who had a had a trickstar from bitd who we were taiking too.
