The "Flowtrail Bikepark" build. Had to replace the handlebars too after I bent the gilded ones in a crash late last year. So currently using a "boring" gold Spank handlebar.

Additional Info
The least sensible bike you could get but fun as hell.
Got it delivered unpainted and had it powder coated locally with translucent coats so the brazes are still visible through the paint.
I have an air shock I use when the bike gets used on the local trails and needs to be pedaled up hill and a coil shock when I use it as a flow trail bike at the bike park.
EDIT: 1st Feb 2026: Added picture of the coil/flowtrail build.
