Fade Dream Build
Our old friend Gee featured a cherry bomb Fade in his latest Dream Build video.
There's a small corner of the internet dedicated to videos of people building really, really nice bikes slowly and with care. OK, nowadays these Dream Build videos are a bit stylised and that's their appeal. But it's not that far off what actually happens at Airdrop when we build a customer bike.
Have a watch while the team at Dream Build put together a cherry bomb Fade with a particularly exotic build kit...

The video is great, well worth a watch. But we've also got the whole build documented in photos if that's more to your taste...

Full Circle
This week, someone from my home village ordered a bike. First time that's happened. It absolutely made my day, and helped me to remember how far Airdrop has come.
