pimp my cycle - final

After all paint and detailing has been done, its time for the final bike assembly. Me and Kei had to be delicate during this stage as, do not want to scratch the new paint, no matter how anxious we were.

Handle bars, gears, brakes, cables, seat, all went in first

Kei's Final masterpiece and a job well done.

After a evening worth of spraying and getting our hands dirty, the black paint is finally on.

Next, the most important part of the pimping process, the tribal designs design for the fork and main frame. All which has been picked out from Sticker Station.

The white tribal design was stenciled and pasted on the frame. A thin layer of white paint went on.
