I like the look of the cream tires on here so they will be staying. Just need to get out and get some finished build pics thinking I will check out the new park not...

I like the way the one I made is and I made them for this bike so I went back to it. I also cleaned up the bell so it doesn't clash with the handle bars new paint. While I had...
