That's so awesome, it's... awesome! I love the color, and REALLY love the wraps on the pipes and handlebars. You did great detail on this thing, too. Stunning work!

I agree, awesome, also the strange color.

I would see it with tiner steel rays and alu wheels, but I love, awesome project, great photo skills and graphic appeal.

Congrats!

Excellent clean workmanship. The way you did the exhaust is a great feature. You sure know how to build bikes.
