a little story about neil..... picture the scene....

phone call... ring ring... hello neil, whats up? just finished the "rupe" you gotta see it... he says with a passion!!!

busy working at the minute mate,but if im up your way i'll pop in and have a butchers

aye alright he says like a little boy who's been really let down by a mate...

5 mins later after ive had a rethink.... Fook it... get the kettle on im on the way!!!

he wont let me see it till ive had my cuppa... keeping me in suspense... like he's building up to something monumental....

after the tea and a bit crack he opens the high security door through to his dining room where the rupe tribute stands.....

i'm speechless as the rupe just sits there shining like nowt ive laid my eyes on before... the rims are pure class nevermind pro class... cant believe the job he's made of them...who else would try to drill the rims for a build??... the polished beartraps are a sight to see.. and shine like a star going supernova... from the paint job and the decals through to the bars and the grips... the bike looks a million dollars... a true tribute

p.s. just gift me through paypal mate
