Indeed Flake, it would be very boring if everyone's bike looked the same. They were individual BITD and that is what made adding bits to your bike exciting.
I actually think I get more of a buzz now, waiting for new bits for my bike than I did 20 odd years ago!
Nice to see another top TA build too. I was even looking for one when I bought mine, I wanted a Ripper. But this baby come along at the right time so I indulged. Glad I did now, think I prefer it to a Ripper now.
