    I have totalled up the cost of the bike after all of the upgrades and it has come at £360, which I am happy with that as I doubt I would be able to buy anything close to this bike as it stands today :? . All parts brand new and fitted personally :D

    Thanks, The mudguard is for making it to interviews in my local area as I am job hunting at the moment. It comes off very easily so should have taken it off before takingthe pic really :oops:

    You have to remember that your bike has nothing but quality parts on it while some of mine are still 'unbranded' and heavy. :D Also yours looks very nice indeed!
