Meet Pink Panther...

My new fun-little-play-around-bike

 

It isnt 100% completed yet (need other bars, grips, front brake and rotors), but I wanted to post it because the project has taken so long due to limited time. I will take it for its 1st ride this weekend too :)

 

It will be SS most of the time and I want to see if I can do dirt jumps with it (being a HT and all) and of course pump tracks.

Parts started arriving in Decemeber 2013 already, but I couldnt decide on the colour scheme, but super happy with it now. (The pics don't show the exact colours.)

 

I have built a bike from complete frame up last year, but this was my 1st time getting dirty with paint. So many lessons learnt and I would do so many things differently if I were to do it again, but was an awesome little project.

Great work. It looks great!

Thanks but the bars will either be black or renthal's. 740mm is what I am looking at.

HAHHAHA! you trying to sell me your gold things?

 

I am getting pink grips from Mike's today (if it is the right pink) :blush:

Not a fan of those foamy grips.

 

colours....pink and green and black............I am a pretty simple person (dont like too many different colours on one bike)
