This is a really great built thread! Hats off for putting so much effort into the research and sharing all the informations of course. It's always great for a newbie like me to get some good backround information. I like the whole story behind this build, especially the forks story.
Finally I think, you really nailed it! This bike looks fantastic!
Maybe I'm a bit late, as this lovely bike has already won the NOV-BOTM contest. Belated Congrats for that aswell!
Top work!
