    I didn't realise there were so many joint lines from previous pictures, I couldn't live with that.

    yeah, I didnt take the time to make perfect shapes to fill the joints with a single piece of vinyl, this time though, I will make it way better!

    Out of interest, do you buy this vinyl direct from VviVid? or somewhere else? How much do you use for the frame & fork and what is the cost?

    Normally you have to order from them by Internet, but I got lucky and one of their office happens to be near where I live.. So I just walk in and buy their directly...

    They sell by 5feet to which ever length you desired.. Ex 1ft X 5ft, 2ft X 5ft.. I took 2x5  the last time and this time again and it is plently enough.. You'd probably be able to redo the whole bike if you messed up something to be honest...

    For the cost, it's about 10$ (5.81GBP) for 1ft x 5ft and double the price for 2ft X 5ft and so on...

  5. So I decided to go with Smurf Blue since the printing on the marble one seemed a bit off...

    so prior to install the new wrap, I had to Take off the old one... Which was a bit challenging.

    Firstly, here's what over a year of usage looks like (not super extreme riding)

    and the takeoff Process began...

    ALL OFF, back to Black!

  8. Had the trialtech ones, they didnt work at all. they made a lot of wobble sound when braking gradualy, and got destroyed in like a week:

    12053383_10207847257083191_1867927934_n.

    I probaly just got unlucky... I know that People have been liking them alot.

  9. So I was thinking on buying these new SPANK 24" Rims and I was wondering if saving about 190g from having these (473g) instead of the Inspired Rims (664g) would actually noticable? I was also thinking about getting those Light Weight Tubes. I'd probably get some light new spokes aswell. So I know that the most noticable place for loosing weight on a bike is the wheel but will aprox. 220g saved per wheels be noticable and worth the change? Also to mention I will have to unbuild my beloved arcade wheelset laced by Mister C. himself...

    My Current Setup:
