Thank you, but maybe I shouldn't show you the close up photos!
I could have easily spent another 3-6 hours sanding and tidying things. You can still see tool marks in places. If I was making a living from it I'd have some better jigs and tools to ensure a neater and quicker job, and I'm pretty sure that Calfee isn't using a brush for his clear coat.

I am very happy with this and if it wasn't for the rear brake whoopsie I'd be happier. Each bike is better and I'm learning more tricks every time.
By the time I've made about 15 of these I might be good enough to consider selling them commercially.
I think that if anyone passes me by and with only a quick glance says "is that a Calfee?" then I'll be very happy!
