Wow, Cricket, @bikequeen, this aftermarket chain is really spectacular, gives a new level of detail. So cool. Did that assembly jig come with the chain set?

@bikequeen - the chain itself truly validates your username! Amazing work Cricket. Inspirational!

Wheels! Each wheel had 4 spoke assemblies and the rim itself was 2 halves, The stokes are very delicate and best to install with tweezers. I’m having internet troubles so I will just up load the pics.

The wheel hub should be black but I was uncomfortable trying to paint around the spokes so I left it. Tamiya Metallic Silver over gloss black….still need to add valve stems and I had to take out one link of the chain…i am trying to figure a way to shoot a small video of chain and damper movement. With out a doubt the best kit I ever built 🙂

Those wheels are amazing, Cricket @bikequeen
The work on all those spokes turned out perfectly.
Love to see that information decal on top of the chain guard, nice detail.

Here are pic before I start adding covers and stuff, then the radiators I mistakenly painted the rear caliper gold was to lat top fix it once I realized it 🙁

@johnb thats the sad part about this bike, most of it’s covered up…and everything looks good in gold 😉

@anthonyricco @gblair @chinesegeorge @johnb @brithebuilder @fiveten … i bow to all the accolades because I dont feel I’m that good. Tamiya makes me look good this kit is a masterpiece of engineering on their part! 🙂

@chinesegeorge thanks George, i guess we are our own worst critics :)(
