it's looking pretty good now, it's very glossy, well done!

is that chain a KMC ?, just watch out if it is, they stretch pretty quick.

Awesome. Looks like my new build. What paint do you use to paint it ? It looks really good from what I can see. One thing on these pit bikes is the paint never holds up. I think the paint is ok but maybe the service prep or undercoating isn't that great and thats why it always fails. I always repaint my bikes Keen to see more mate.

Keep us updated
