Yeah I saw yours Mark and you have put more era correct parts on it which is a better idea. Nice build! I wanted this to be a rider so I put some parts on it that I desired BITD instead. For some reason the gear factory bikes used to come with were never good enough and needed to be replaced and customised. Go figure? Now we want the opposite! LOL
