You also have to sort out that brake cable. And remember to helitape the frame before it's too late. Saddle angle might not be right yet either. Looks nice though.

helitape the whole downtube, anywhere a cable might run amd the non drive side chainstay where your heel will rub.

And get a long chainstay protector for the drive side - possibly two - to keep the noise down.

Bit early for the vaseline on the lens shots if you haven't even ridden it yet, or is it love at first sight?

The plain ones do look a bit wrong tbh, but i think with those decals it looks spot on, nice bike.. (that front tyre will kill you though) :.)

and your missing a chain, before you go out and wonder why when you pedal you aren't getting very far.

No need to thank me :*
