This bike has an interesting history. Picked up the frame from a police auction with the serial number ground off and painted over back in 2009. Built it up over the next year and has seen several different iterations since then, with a variety of more current and better quality parts before settling on the current spec around 3 years ago. Most of the parts were picked up second hand off here or mates upgrading, as well as a few nos parts from overseas.
Unfortunately she has seen better days with chain rash and rub now getting close to critical so she may soon see retirement soon.
