I am loving the colour of the bike, not so sure abotu the brown saddle and silver handlebars! Either black or potentially white bars! Love the baby blue though..love the bike too Mr MC has it in orange.

...and white bars. Did you buy the seat to go with the Kushima?

Disclaimer - I don't care if I've spelled Kushima wrong or should have called it a saddle...biiiiatches

Nice bike - did you sell all veggies in the plot to fund the build?

RP23 looks kashima'd, but not the forks.

Nice steed by the way, what bars are they?

Forks are 2011 36 Floats Kashima coated, RP23 is 2012 Kashima which is darker ๐Ÿ˜•
The seat looks better in the flesh. I've always liked SDG Bel Air & the look of the brown Charge Spoon... now they do the Bel Air in brown leather effect, I think it looks quite cool, and it was the Fathers Day present that started the whole build ๐Ÿ˜€

Nice! Anyone who doesnt think the saddle goes is void of style and probably rides a ss 29er.

...or an Alpine 160 with finishing kit* that matches.

sweet rig dude

I think brown the saddle might work better if you had one of them gold renthal bars to match your fork stanchions.

Nice. Have the bel-air on me five. Comfiest saddle I've used. I like the broon. I'd stick some mallets on it personally but it looks the mutts. Enjoy.

Looks lovely. I'd have said the saddle could stay if you matched it with brown grips personally.

The forks are very gold in the flesh, just disappointed that the 2012 shock didnt match them ๐Ÿ™„
Doesn't matter really as its a bike & supposed to be ridden; not looked at. 1st ride tonight & its damn confidence inspiring on the downs = a lot faster. Just hope I dont crash at the higher speeds.

Love the colourway on that stallion.

Just hope I dont crash at the higher speeds.

A little tweak of the mental skill set adjuster should sort that dilema.
