Right, here it is. It'll look like this for about a week, as I have about as much faith in the quality of the finish as I do in an omnipotent benevolent god.

NB THE BOTTLE CAGES ARE GOING, to be replaced with some white & pink ones.

Opinions? I know its a bit of a heap, but it'll do until the mrs buys me a new one as a wedding present (er, 0.01% of this actually happening).

NB the garage isn't mine, so don't BOTHER telling me what I need to do here.

Needed massive bold graphics - too late now though

Bar tape is suitably ghey already so I'd stick with that.

Sweet. Leave the cages they're fine. What is needed is a shot of rider and bike together so we can see how well they co-ordinate together. Please tell me you have suitably ghey shoes and socks?

Hmmmm, it looks good but it'll look better with white. Only one mans opinion matters though...

Davey!

He has a tendency to be insincere if embarrassment would ensue to someone else.

Good to see the bike is in 53-11, where I imagine it spends most of its time Cool

I agree, otherwise it looks unbalanced. White tape then.

but didn't he put the stickers on over the lacquered finish? So you could get new stickers made up and take the old ones off?
