Now, that looks an awesome build for the money spent bro, well done

I know a lot of time, effort and thought went into it and it shows

Just one niggly bit though...are you double jointed with your right hand? I could never reach that far around

Fannytastic!

Its an optical illusion with that lever Terry. It is a bit of a reach but still manageable for a postman's skid

No worries, just a bit gutted that my alternative entry isn't done as I'm having bb issues, so the parts have stayed on the ruler and that's been entered, shame as my kris Bennett is shaping up to be a beast of a rider
