well that was fine for a while but i got bored of blue and yellow and well it just got scratched and looked horrible

and me being me i just got tired of looking at it :P so eventually i blew up my DDG rear hub i decided it was time for a change,

so i first stripped down my frame and forks because the plan was to polish everything but then i saw a picture of a Zoo Python in matt black and well things had to change, i sprayed my frame matt black and my girlfriend polished my forks and stem and magura cyclinders

personally i think you should leave the side walls! incase you make a mees of them, but if you measure it up proporly and do it correctly and take your time then go for it!

just gotta wait till tarty have my rim in stock and can build wheels then it sould be ready

i know the chain is the wrong way round, but i hate having to undo the split link :P

my girlfriend spent about a day wet sanding the forks with finer and finer sandpaper and then used AUTOGLYM Metal Polish and a pad bought from halfords, but never used the pad as my girlfriend just used her arms and they came out amazing, same can be said about the stem
