Thanks PrezzaI love everything you’ve done with this build from the frame colour choice all the way down to your attention to detail with decals and and finishing kit.
One of ….if not the best C16r builds I’ve seen (even better than my own previous one)…
WOW!
I’m sure you as well as other members here will appreciate the time and thought that goes into a build from scratch like this. It has taken way longer than I expected but other projects, available funds and life in general have been factors plus I don’t like to rush a project even though I’m always keen and excited to see the outcome of one’s efforts
.Really appreciate your kind words
