I built an orange 456 SS in November. Every time I ride it I get the "I made this!" buzz.

Enjoy your 1st ride.

well done, nice build there

Im not keen on the rims but thats one sexy bike.

nice looking bike.

*Very* nice.

If I was going to make one change it may be to dump the triple chainset and go for a bash/36/24. Not a critism, just an observation. Good build, well done.

Coyote….got that set up on my susser , fancied a triple on this one .

Thanks for the comments guys. 🙂
