GV1390's Trattoria "Racer"

Builds
201

I like the gold-brings another color into it without looking like it shouldn’t be there

202

I agree here 100%

if the forks were gold the entire bike would be grayscale.

203

In short; the guy who makes/sells those is a scammer and psychopath, like legit so I sold it as I don’t want his products on my bike. Also, my current 4:2:1 setup makes proven more power.

UPDATE:

In regards to geometry; the ground was measured to ensure it was flat. A magnetic angle gauge was used to measure neck angle, then fork length was measured, triple offset was measured and also front tire diameter resulting in 3.93 trail. Pretty darn close considering stock is 4.1 =) This (as suspected) will make the turn in more “nimble” hence why a damper was suggested.

I also got the chance to ride this thing finally! Everything charges as well but still has some areas that need buttoning up. One more solid days worth and she will be ready to go on the road!
