[nico jacko]

looks good how much was it?:cool:

[Rexy]

She sure has come a long way, thats for sure. I hate to say it, but in the process of the last year and a bit this things gobbled nearly 2.5K, but it has been through many builds in that time. What you see sitting there at the moment has cost roughly a little under $1500.

They arent reflectors on the front wheel, they are spokey dokes! In the shape of bottle caps as well, with shiny hologram bits. Its a pity that damn Emo kid Disco stole all my pink ones....

Ah it does not need a new seat, the tape is purely there as the insides of my legs were having the skin ripped off them from barspinning. It does look a little average, so i might have to tidy it up a bit sometime.

I must say i absolutely love the way it rides, it just suits my riding style so nicely. Sits on the rear wheel really nicely, and is really easy to chuck around.

At the moment im considering going on a lightening program. Im not sure of an exact weight, as i have the dodgiest set of scales on the planet, but i am guessing it would be roughly equivalent to an stp (around 15kg)
