yeah i had a purple KGB. 5 month later i see its all the rage  :angry:.

i was wondering at the time why marrti and viki were looking at my bike but i though it was because they liked how i cut all the brake lugs off.

but no the colour. hahaha i lie...

well not really i had the first purple psychonnecta but they only just made the first psychopower and that was in purple but they may of seen my bike and thought... yeah thats nice lets do the psychonnecta like that too  ^_^

its all being done properly, today im going to finish off stripping the paint from the frame, Rub the primer on the forks down & give it a second shot then possibly get a shot of primer on the frame. Give me a week and it'll be done, few shots of primer then a few of the colour that i managed to cover my fingers in trying to get a look at  :rolleyes: and then a few shots of laquer it should last, And with the 150 layers im doing for the paint it might weigh a little more haha!! yay!! i got some wider tyres too everything on the tantra feels so fast and with the tyres theres not alot of room for error so i went up from the 1.5 to a 1.95 and a heavyier tyre too.

Well i managed to get a second coat of primer on the fork & completely strip the frame, fork got a coat of paint on it. still doesnt look spectacular atm but it needs another 4 or 5 coats at least then some gloss laquer but it should look great this should give you some idea of what it will look like in the end. The Frames just had its 1st coat of primer too.

Im riding 2 brakes atm dont know how long it will last, im a little off balance at the moment after my shoulder operation so they really help me out. i have a lean to left atm haha just got to get some strength back in my right arm or do all my spins to the left! the KHE forks have removable mounts so thats why the mounts arent on the forks.
