lLovin' that  :4_17_5:


Perfect balance with the all silver components

 and all better for  not adding coloured anno parts which would distract from that awesome frameset colour  :coolsmiley:


Gotta have Torker's in your collection  :daumenhoch:

Very nice indeed, I do love a painted bike so much better than a chrome one (yes I know my R&R is chrome but life is a bitch sometimes).  :LolLolLolLol:

Thanks alot guys, I appreciate your comments.  :daumenhoch:

In the process of getting some pads sorted Chris...plus I may revert to my original grip choice- Oakley 2's...

So not much but not 100%...!  ::)

And yes you're right about my decision on part choice to let the F+F be the star...!  :daumenhoch:
