I'd probably quite like that if it wasn't so yellow.

Beard - Check
Vans Shoes - Check
Sleeve Tats - Not Check.
Probably explains why I only half like it.

I have none of the 3 and love it. It's my favourite of all the customs we've seen.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 9:04 amBeard - Check

I like it for being so yellow, I don't like the standard weird fuel tank shape.

I'm not sure why, but that's brilliant!
So much better than the stock bike.

I really like the little duck tail flick on the back of the seat unit. I'm sure it does buggery nothing, but I like it. Probably 'cause it reminds me of an 80's Porsche.
It's the exact same colour as Lego minifigure heads innit? That's what's putting me off I think

Re: YELLOW ARROW: GAS&RETRO FINESSES THE VITPILEN 701
As far as visuals I think they've only added a light/seat cowl, new forks and painted it yellow. Or am I missing something?KungFooBob wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 9:20 am I'm not sure why, but that's brilliant!

You'd need to chuck it off a cliff to get it to go fast enough for them to work

It’s good because it’s nearly a standard bike and not shoreditch regulars view of what’s cool
I like it a lot

No... not entirely dissimilar, though.

I rather like that. Probably too small for me, but that is most bikes! I like yellow!!

Re: YELLOW ARROW: GAS&RETRO FINESSES THE VITPILEN 701
I was an owner. One bike I regret selling due to no space to store it. I now have a garage! It was not a Super 3, but it was so clean, went beautifully and was just such lovely bike.Ditchfinder wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 7:26 amAha a fellow t300 ownerthe_priest wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 7:00 am I rather like that.
