Hoffman Taj Ramp room build

Well I've been lurking on here for a while now but now it's time to show what I'm up to.
I used to ride a 96 Taiwan Taj that I absolutely loved until it's cracked stay demise (I still have that frame at home)
A few years later, some kid strolled into the local park riding this chrome beast that we identified as a US ramp room made one (lower wishbone, no stamp, slightly diff wishbone). After a quick exchange of cash it was mine!
It's now been sat around for a few years hence the paintjob, and the half butchered 14mm conversion (what was I thinking!)
Build-wise, I was thinking about speccing it as close to what I ran as possible (I have a photo somewhere I need to dig out) but now I'm thinking of getting it close to Taj's ride below
So far I've got the frame, forks and a shafted blue Redneck (that I'll likely strip and polish)
Anyone else agree this is more of a painted baby blue rather than the metallic baby blue the completes came in?
cheers for looking!

If your building taj rep then you want a TNT stem, and that seat can set you bk upto £200 if you can find 1! Defo build a rep that would be sweet!

The ramp room Taj's are a flat baby blue whilst the Taiwanese are more of a pearlescent.

Nice
original forks too!
I always thought Taj's bike was lilac, the pedals look like he did a dodgy purple spray job over blue
I've got a Kashimax Fusion seat(RS)...quite scuffed, and only got 3 holes in it so don't think it's that one, Olly 200 quid and it's yours

I think the biggest problem I'm going to have is getting a hold of a set of Low drag bars, can't seem to find a set anywhere!

You'll struggle to get an early set, but Taiwan Low drags pop up here and there.

I'm pretty sure I saw that bike in the flesh and it was definitely baby blue.

I'm getting my illustrator friend to draw some up to get reprinted so I'll let you know when I do.
Probably get the black with baby blue/gold done.
