[Kyalami]

All,

Thanks to those of you who have either sold me parts or bought parts from me the past few months. I thought I'd throw up a few pics of where I am right now before I attempt to put this beast back together.

Sometimes I still can't believe I've taken a perfectly good condition '04 and done this to it... but hey, in my mind, this bike was meant to race, not look good. Like many of you have also come to think, riding on the track is where it's really at, and I just don't enjoy riding this bike on the street anymore. After a relatively front-end damaging lowside, I'm making the transformation permanent. So, this rookie is going racing this year.

I'm still looking for 2 things to get everything ready:

1) Woodcraft rearsets
2) (preferably) CRG Shorty levers.

If any of you have some lying around, let me know before I drop $ on new items.

I'll update after the weekend...

Before and now...
