Not sure how i missed this thread but that has really come together nice, it looks great Mark! Like the later decals on it.

You'll love how it rides, it's pure fun... I absolutely love mine to bits!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the decals from, or did you have them printed?

Will look forward to seeing it completed

Wow, what a cool little bike. The temptation to barspin it off every set if steps must be huge! Love it. Proper urban assault weapon! Good work fella!
