That's a bugger, I just deleted all the photos I took when I swapped engines.. And I needed to refer to them to get all the pipe work back in the right place. :(

I keep seeing Black frames and swingaems everywhere. I may have to think of a different colour to do mine. :(

What paint did you use Geoff?

Very nice looking ! you can have a tango bike :) maybe red Carl? Can't go wrong with red and black, would give it quite a sinister look too.

Frame looks great fella, top job.

Orange with black frame sounds very nice indeed.
