Hi guys

I bought this off stevesredvxr and he personally delivered it tonight...... You dont get service like that any more.... :daumenhoch: I thought I would start the thread tonight as I have a lot of bits to help the build and will be starting this weekend.....

So a beautiful re-chromed Skyway TA frame and forks and a fee easter egg chucked in the box ( thanks Steve my daughter loved it  :LolLolLolLol:)

It is better than I expected.......  :daumenhoch:










Guys any feedback on colur scheme when you see the build pictures are appreciated...... I have Pro Class rims for her, white mx 1000s and tech 4 levers, red cables, red power stem, GT pro bars, GT seatpost, red Kashi style seat......

Lookin' nice  ;) . I'd go for brakes in red , blue or silver and if a race inspired build ( Pro Class wheels ) then you don't have to worry about a front brake either ;)

Alright Wez, you knew when you bought my white one it was because I wanted a chrome one..... :laugh:

I am saving for the DRZ but had already bought this and this was never an option to be sold....... I even put the Class up which I thought I wouldnt do but sourced loads of goodies for this over last 2 weeks and gfoing to look nice......

I cant say how lovely the chrome is it is an amazing job.........
