That looks really nice

I know everyone hates the snakepost combos but i think it looks quite cool.

griff · « **Reply #7 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:11 PM »

good thing about the elina is that it diverts attention away from the obviously non-era correct bell

WELL DONE GRIFF

Be nice to see you falling off your own bike rather than Brett's

I could live with the snakey post if you took that multicoloured sticker off it? nice Haro one to match the decals maybe

and wheres the Ame Rounds

Seriously ... well done mate ... lets RIDE

Rodgy1970 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:34 PM »

& here I was thinking it was the post that offends and it's just the sticker

rounds are on the mongoose which is also ready to ride except needs new lower gyro cables fitting

not sure which to fall off first....

really nice that mate and im liking the decals a lot also think the brakes you used are sweet on it

pickle · « **Reply #12 on:** February 25, 2011, 07:29 AM »

nice one John! love those Multisurface 3 tyres

(would like those myself!) don't worry there'll be enough of us tomorrow evening to distract you while we take a fooking saw to that seat and post combo!

brettypeeps · « **Reply #14 on:** February 25, 2011, 08:18 AM »

Not before time

Nice one Griff looking great and liking the seat post especially

Decals are looking awesome

Spen69 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 25, 2011, 08:31 AM »

Nice touch on the decals Griff - Del is Da man when it comes to a bit of custom work ;-)

You've obviously not ridden it on a ramp yet though bud as the first time you bale you will get caught up on the snakey as you can't slam it, so I expect you'll do the hacksawing yourself! Just be carefull bud...

Looks awesome bud, especially the tyres. Nicely done at long last!

Nice one Griff, looks great, I think you'll find the `finally finished' comment in the title slightly out, you'll be tweaking it forever Mate.

only kidding Bud, I am not offended by them, in fact, had one myself once!!

See you Saturday!

griff · « **Reply #17 on:** February 25, 2011, 09:12 AM »

thanks to all for comments

funny still no-one's told me to take the bell off

as for not having ridden it on a ramp yet - I haven't ridden it anywhere (Creation will be it's maiden voyage outside unless I can have a roll tomorrow when I get back home to walsall)

will try and get some pics done before I start ruining it - also will have the mongoose finished tomorrow - just need to slap some rear cables on it
(ooo 2 done in one week, what will I do now.....?)
