Looks like you did a good job. White is a pain to keep clean though isn't it ?

Beyond the quality of the tapework on the rims, I like seeing tires ridden in almost properly.

It's embarrassing when people post "look at my bike, isn't it cool?!" type pics with glaringly obvious chicken strips.

Nicely done!

That's a nice looking bike. That pipe is sweet.
