Very nice build.

But for the love of God, cant we get a picture that doesn't look like it was taken underwater?

I'm sorry, but there's been a run of pretty bikes lately ruined by bad pictures.

:!:

Nice bike!! I could care less about the photo quality my self, I'd just try and find some blue Fat decals.

Agreed

 

[scant]

very nice
minor gripe? if you're going for a blue build get some new blue decals, would finish it off perfectly
(besides the seattube decal is wrong, thats a mass decal, it should be "the glory, not the prey")

lol my camera is so bloody hard to get good pics from its a top of the range sony but im crap! ill do better next time! yes going for blue decals and i have the right seat tube decal. As i said its just a quick build so i can ride it it will be very different when its done!

 

[ti-fat-man]

Bill, nowt wrong with that IMHO
Wow, you really got motoring with that build, did you have the parts set aside, then bagged the frame?
Q: what size is the frame?
are you sure it's a 97 cos i'm hedging 99, but that's based soley on the red decals, but as mike has mentioned before, decals could be a customer spec option.
nice bike, enjoy.

hi mate yup been saving the blue bits for a while now im not sure the decals are original as they arent great and the seattube one is wrong. ill get some blue ones from Rody as soon as he sorts them out. Been so busy with my car this weekend (first trophy! woo hoo!) havent even ridden it ill go for a ride after i watch the Moto gp!
