Enjoy the bike and forum
Haha some have to buy the 'Pink' ones ;)

And yes the sliders are so much better than the drilled hole ones, so glad he got those!

Also the flash tune I have been thinking about that for a while now, do you know how much Mike charges and how long it takes from sending it off to getting it back ?

Cheers fella!

Oh nice one! we head out to the Oakdene Cafe every Wednesday night if you have heard of it ?

Not sure the ins and outs man all I know is its the 'limited edition red frame' one, thats why you never see that colour scheme around at all, mainly the white and black frame, blue and black frame and matte black and black frame with gold forks.

So happy days you have one! :D
Quite possibly Limited numbers but its not to my knowledge a Limited Edition as it would have a plaque and number. Anyway mate you have taste and that's all that counts. :D

Think you may have been drawn in by a bit of salesman bullshit there mate,the "red"(pronounced Pink :D ) frame 14b`s werent a limited edition "per se" in anyway more than the Silver 5PW`s were,its just they didnt actually make all that many,a true limited edition is like the Kenny Roberts 5VY anniversary model and the SP models(numbered),built with a specific number of units being built from the start

Anyway,never mind that,great looking bike,i actually have a little sweet spot for these colours9i think it may be my feminine side shining through :D ,but i do warm to these bikes

Welcome in Sam,enjoy the forum andits members and all we can offer you ;)
