You had me thinking about restriping mine and going for the textured paint, it looks a little grey now. Is that the colour you went for or is that the black? Still looks great though, good work.
If it aint broke, get your bloody hands off it!

Just a quick update, on the back leg now started to test assemble the bike. Gonna use the seat it came with for now just to get it back on the road and speed things along. Here's a photo.
