wowwwwee!

Not normally keen on the retrotec style cruiser geometry bikes but that is a little bit special!

Any closeups of the polished ti flames?

 

[scant]

very nice
who built the frame?... I have a good friend who after many years has earned the nickname "chromosexual"... yup he loves polishing hahaha, who did the polishing work?

 

[flamejob]

ummm....

... they are really difficult to take photos of 'cause they are really shiny

Oh... and I drawed it all by myself, on an etch-a-sketch

 

[rutteger]

Awesome....and very very shiny

 

[gump]

super shiny

I can't handle the bling :shock: :shock:

Saints Alive!

Sweet baby Jesus and all the orphans! That is the pimp-iest ride I have ssen in a long while! How much did it cost? £3000? £4000?

Did you really desing the frame yourself?

Well done, get yourself a drink.

 

[flamejob]

Where did you get the cranks polished - I've got a set of XTR M900 that could do with that sort of lovin'
