Repost - the bike before and after a makeover

What a difference some colour can make to a lady. Anyone who doesnt believe it only needs to check out this makeover. For the uninitiated this IS the same bike (but this is a bit like going to Dr 90210). This is her before - still beautiful but maybe a little heavy (8.6kg)




this is her after the makeover



Very lovely. oh and by the way she lost 1.3kg (can you believe that). the engine is still a fat bastard but it wont be long (or so he thought back when he originally completed this post).

She wasnt cheap (~$385/100gm) but my justification is she might just save me and the planet.

As with anything however, the expense really is not in the colour (you can trick up anything with colour) but in some of the "hidden" components. I guarantee i have earned this and i will enjoy it.

till next time - on your bike
