Thanks, Phace! You're in my will. :thumb

It's been just over a year since that last photo was taken. I've made a few changes since then...

No, I wasn't there. Was at Carlisle last year and will be there again this year. Since that last pic was taken I've made a few changes, like bigger brakes and had the wheels powder coated a lighter, more complimentary color.
