Yeah the red didn't turn out quite like I had hoped, it was supposed to match better, but oh well. I should note that it looks a little better in person. I get carried away with contrast and saturation on Photoshop and it makes them look even less matchy. I do still like it though, I'm glad I did it. It's exactly why I didn't raw my old one haha!
I haven't had a chance to try out the tires as it's been stormy here since I built her up. I'll let ya know when I get some time on them though. They look great and parking lot test has been good too.
Finished my Ticket for the next while. Minor tweaks like maybe fork decals or bigger frame decals, but nothing major except I might build new wheels for it soon, but whatever. I'm so stoked on it right now.
One of the sickest parts is the decals, they look chrome, but once the light hits it right it's a f*ckin' rainbow. This picture kinda shows it, or theres a video of it on my instagram (handle is on my profile on here) if you really wanna see it.

Very professional.
Jokes aside, it's not my colour choice but I love seeing custom work. Sick bike!
Any recommendations on whether or not to have a front and rear brake?
If it messes up your no handers then take it off. Otherwise it's not hurting nobody. Personally I don't run one though cause I don't like the way they look.

I run a front with a headset cap that allows me to run it through the steerer so in theory I can still bar spin, in reality it means I can stop and when I crash it doesn't tear the lines out of the brakes.
