At long last this machine is mine and first ride completed.

Hope Messiah is reading this somewhere because he helped me so much with the build

I wanted to get it under 27pounds it’s just under 26

If ever there was a bike to equal/better my Tallboy this is it

Like. A lot. Enjoy…

Nice!!!!

Under 26 and a dropper! WOW, well done.

Looks quality 🙂 Enjoy.

That is all kinds of nice.

Sort logo alignment on front and your gate could do with some varnish.

Lovely build, how does it ride?

Hey Phil,

Looking good, did you enjoy its maiden voyage, or did westy just have you climbing !!!

Hi Paul, A ride with Westy after 2 weeks off is always going to be interesting but it flew up and the Pike seemed as smooth as,on the downs….absolutely loved it…….and my orange flouro TLD shorts obviously were the icing on the cake.

That looks awesome. Makes me really want to get mine finished now!!!

Is the gate shut?

At least it’s not in Bikestyle’s window making me jealous anymore….

Mmmmmm nice!
