Hardwork. All threads were bunged however on a full sus it increases all tolerances. My it looks soo nice in the flesh though. Definitely recommend it.

I like that. It looks a load better than it used to.

Isn’t the colour a bit enduro? Surely it will look to much like a fashion bike for you?

I wear a baby blue IXS helmet and murdered out Pikes. #selloutGokWanMTB 8)

Is that a Butcher frame?

Yes. Decided against selling it as its as good as anything circa 1k etc new Imo. Santa Cruz were daft to stop the nickel/butcher

if it had been done properly it wouldnt have over spray.

pay monkeys get peanuts 😉

looks good though.

Miss matched frame and swingarm = me wanting to gouge my eyes out.

I think I would have just stripped, polished and applied new Stickers.

You’ll need a new cycle top

Bzzzzz

Ripple free finish allover. Deep paint so on the inside of mounts needed a shave. No biggie but for 60 for two colours 😀

I did raw 3yrs ago as did I_ache!

The rear swing arm is dark grey. It looks good in the flesh as the yellow Is dark

Looks good mate. I had a nickel and the paint was very very fragile.

Who did it and did they do your tool box at the same time?

Stockport Powdercoaters. Im not taking style advice from a Honda FRV owner 😉

I was only asking as I fancy getting my Karate Monkey done in a nice subtle Jagermeister Orange

wasn’t it a bit small for you? maybe the extra thick powder will lengthen it a bit for you?

Was that they’re actual excuse? It’s just poor masking, but for £60 I’d probably be ok with it too

I did indeed and it looked great but I killed the shock and now have a carbon stumpjumper. I daren’t try and raw that.

I am thinking about getting some pikes for it to be even more fashionable.

Sure its not one of these?
