Sweet build Gra, but a fat and skinny pair of all black Kenda knobbies would round that off nicely  :daumenhoch:

Apart from the wheels, pedals and colour that is exactly the same as my first bmx  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

I love a MM, and that looks sharp, but those pedals look a bit late for the bike IMO. Get some real old pointy shin-smashers on there  :daumenhoch:
