pics from the rough assembly. obviously this isn't complete quite yet but you should get a good idea of the final product from here:

yes i know the front wheel is on backwards. i just jammed it on to make the bike mobile for moving it around the shop

looks awesome man!!! yeah good thing you let everyone know you put your wheel backwards because you know how the lions are on here..hahaha. I remember people on here were like why is that place so dusty bla bla bla. I think the best work comes out of places that aren't all fancy, and that looks pretty damn top notch!

Great build and the paint looks awesome. The angle on those SP-2 stickers is driving me nuts though

bad ass. nice work man.

one thing i suggest is some sort of aftermarket smaller mirrors or none at all. Magical racing makes some nice ones

me too... my friend put them on without the bodywork on the bike and lined them up to the top of the upper instead of the bodyline below them. i'm not really pissed off but it kind of bugs me a bit.

that's the way it is on the original bike though....

it does look a little off

i already explained the sp2s didn't i? hahaha

if you wanted to knitpick you could tear this bike apart, as could i. but at the end of the day i think the final product is pretty nice as a whole. if i wanted perfection i'd never get it done, and i built this bike to ride the legs off it, not to scrutinize it all day

Wow!!! I think a comment like that is really uncalled for the guy put a lot of money time and work into the bike and the way i see it it looks great. Fuk if it doesnt look exactly like the real deal, shit looks pimp!!!

Awesome job man, I'm jealous. I started work on my mono headlamp and am thinking of painting it to look like a stock RC with single lamp. Well done!

knitpickers will be knitpickers... i'm not overly concerned... i know every defect on the bike because i did almost all the work. i'm happy with it despite the flaw because, as i said before, if i wanted it PERFECT i'd never be happy. i'm not a painter, i'm an electrician, and i'm pretty happy with the result of my time and effort.

glad most of you seem to agree.

I was just stating the fact that the angle of the SP2 is the same on his bike as the race bike....

Please tell me were my comment was uncalled for.

like seriously i come to this board for ideals and information. I barely post, and then i do post something backing up the OP sticker placement and ALL i get is assholes saying that i'm nit picking his bike including the OP.

OK, breathe. All that matters is that the builder is satisfied - and he is. The bike is stunning, but if I personally would have done it with black wheels that shouldn't come across as nitpicking, it's just a preference. Same as the angle of the stickers - I even think the original bike is incorrect ... to my taste. That's the beauty of a special build like this, it's purely a personal thing - and for Wibbly it's perfect!

I don't think anyone is being a "hater" here. Cheers!
