    The finish is actually really good, the paint is nice with a sort of metallic effect to it.
    I had four frames for these builds as we were unsure on sizes, one frame was returned due to paint defects swarf under lacquer, bubbles etc.
    There is an issue which I'm currently in discussion with Ragley/Hotlines about regarding fitment of another companies component. I won't divulge full details until a conclusion is drawn. Ragley have said tolerances have been met yet have also agreed to swap the frames on the next shipment if I'd like.
    This issue does not effect the setup on the green bike and was a quick fix for the other.
    These things aside the bikes ride really well and am very happy with them .

    A couple more pics of mine.... Now with added greenery.
