Its done - my first custom build - 2014 Cotic Soul

I can't say there were not moments of horror during this build. I amazed myself at how stupid I could be but nevertheless, I got it done, and I'm pretty impressed at how much you learn about bikes when building one from scratch. There are no more bogeyman jobs I would rather leave for a LBS!!
Got to thank a good friend, Glyn, who very kindly loaned me his workstand, and some tools I had never seen before that helped immensely.

Love the black and orange combo .. Personally I'd go for a full stealth look with the 2014 revs with the black but that's just me
