Sweet build, and an hollow stem bolt potts mod would sweeten it up no end.

Glad to see it finished Chris......

I wasn't going to mention the decal

I know you're a 'tall' lad, but just lower your seat a wee bit

Now which one are you going to ride at Cleethorpes in July?

fudgey · « **Reply #15 on:** April 11, 2013, 12:23 PM »

top notch build mate, looks the nuts!

if it were mine though (as i think you've built it to ride??) i'd swap the tyres for some cheap pork chop repops instead of making those lovely GT tyres all dirty. and secondly i'd stick a nice 1 piece crank on her instead of the twin pinch flights

looks great though

Oh and shocking tyre logo to valve placement line up

fudgey · « **Reply #17 on:** April 11, 2013, 12:33 PM »

dont tell me there is an actual placement of valve to logo

........do the labels have to be opposite the valve then or next to it just for future reference
