You nailed it!! The use of the polished metal against the chrome and the british racing green evokes 50's F1

Cheers.... but if only they made a bar, stem, saddle and tyres!

That reminds me, I'd better get on with that spec sheet :roll:

I’m liking the Green more than the Red (at the moment) but let’s wait and see what version II turns out like - I suspect it might be a close run thing

Chris, that Campagnogo hub is dirty and doing the scratch and sniff I can’t smell the Lavender metal polish like you can on the chrome of the frame - did Jimmy miss that hub out

Yarp, I think the Green will always look the better of the two and probably attract more admiring comments, but I am in no doubt which one will be lighter and work better……..

And yes I am ashamed to say that the front was already built, I forgot to clean it, my bad. :facepalm:
