Had my Blue pig frame for about 9 months and it's the first bike I've built myself. This project started with the persuasion of a knowledgable friend, who's advice throughout has been pivotal in the bikes final completion. Prior to this build, I had no bike fettling knowledge and would take even the most simple of problems to my local bike shop to fix. The bike is not 100% complete, although is 100% ridable. I wanted to take the pictures before I go out and get her muddy!
I chose the gold colour scheme originally to build her up as 'project pimp pig' and the blue kinda worked it's way in. I think it works in a 'clashes but is still pimp as hell' kinda way. It's a bit shonky in places, but it's function over form currently . I plan to finish her off with a set of superstar wheels in blue to complete at the end of the year.
