Although I haven't used a white garage door as the background I think I have managed to fulfil most of the OCP criteria.
Do I get the badge?

Help with the image anyone?
It's a rookie error I know! Sorry :oops:

Looks lovely in black, mate.
Good photo, too, only the white wall missing from the background...

Thanks Hopper!

When I looked properly it was easy! :roll:

I like the look of the Vento Reaction wheels. Did they come on the bike or have you upgraded from the usual Ambrosio ones that come with it? If so how do they compare? I like the black too, makes a change from Celeste.

Yay another one
Enjoy it!

The wheels are upgrades and are a significant improvement over the originals. On their first outing the difference in speed was clearly noticeable.
