Just found your videos. Looks great so far! Can I ask where you cam across that latch assembly? I'm looking for something similar and have had no luck.

[@Benji...]

This latch was an extra one i had ordered on AliExpress a while back

Beautiful bike. What wheels are those?

[@Benji...]

Wheels are called Jonich, bought through HSBK racing

Hey man, if you don’t mind me asking. What and where did you get the material for the seat cushion?

[@Benji...]

The foam I picked up from a local upholsterer, he had some extra scraps. I think it's called rock foam
