Balance bike re-spray! Am I mad!?

Post by Griff1977 »

I've gone and bought a kiddies balance bike for my 21month old boy (who loves daddy's VTR!). But, (after my mate offered to help(do)), I've decided to strip it and re-spray it the colours of my VTR! I've ordered some VTR decals at 1/3 size from a bloke in the US! I'll post a before and after! Griff. :P

But can he balance carbs yet?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

This is our artists impression of it:

It is almost done, still in bits, awaiting last coats of silver and to be reassembled!!
