That bike is totally stunning..It totally screams early 80's for me and is a bike I would have dreamed over as a kid...okay, probably still would!

Perfect parts choice...It makes me think how underrated yellow is...perfect balance..congrat's... you have been knocking out some surpreme builds. Very motivational...
