Very nice! Why is it nearly complete... looks complete to me?

Are the tyres fitted in the wrong direction?

Dare I mention rule #7?

Bike must be complete.

Is any bike build ever fully complete there’s always things you want to add or change. I am fine if that’s means I don’t qualify for the botm

Too true, but I'd say that missing pedals is beyond that. It is incomplete

To be fair I should probably edit my comment bike is complete having ridden it a few times. Turns out it’s quite difficult without pedals

Nothing worse and wanting to change the colour of the outer brake and gear cables when finished! I currently have the itch after spending ages on finding the cables, setting them up then wanting a change of colour.

Put colored electrical tape on one cable housing, see if it’s worth the effort. This stuff stretches and won’t leave adhesive on the original cable. It comes in many colors. Just a thought.
