I actually love this build so much more than the majority of bikes on this forum: you took something and upgraded it, made what you had lighter piece by piece with modifications instead of worrying so much about if something 'matches' or just throwing money at it.

Beautiful work!

Some little changes.
This is matte paint.
Next step :
little paint with flakes some areas, put Giant stickers. And paint again. Then remove stickers.

Wow, the paint work was probably worth more than the resale value of your bike! :D

Look great tho. Much better than before.

Now that you tweaked your frame, there are no stock parts left on this bike. Congrats!
