But then I clicked on the front facing one and wow! thats amazing, probably looks even better in the flesh, Good effort Yes well it is camouflage... I know what you mean.Cheers for all the comments guys, am glad to see the end of it to be honest. When I closed my eyes to go to bed each night all I had was an image of camo. It'll be scratched up pretty soon but i'm expecting that and it shouldn't show as badly as if it was one solid colour.XXVI is just 26, no other reason other than to break up the camo a bit (Monkey Boy I may be old but not TWICE that yet!)Pictures taken In Victoria Park over Knowle way. Not a bad park with a few different bits to ride as long you get on with cider drinking chavs 'sharing' the skate park. Yep, next to the railway lines.Updates from previous build are MOE BB and Middleburns. Braided crossover on rear and removed my booster/crossover protector.

King C Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Thats mint. I had the same idea a while ago but was to lazy to ever try to pull it off. Sorry again about the forks dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Sir, I take my hat off to you. That is one of the nicest and most original paint jobs Ive ever seen. The attention to detail is fantastic, and I bet it was a relief to stand back and look at it afterwards. I hope you are really proud of that, as it is most definitely the best paint job Ive ever seen on a trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
