:daumenhoch:more pics added..need to make my mind up to leave it alloy look or have the frame powered what u guys think

Very nice build you have going on there

its a tricky one with the frame and forks tho it would be a shame to powder over that alloy frame maybe think about just powder forks and run a matching decal set,just a thought tho, a lot of rippers had different coloured forks

what ever you do look forward to seeing it
