this one's gone a bit too far......

This thing is more golden than Saddam Hussein's solid gold bathroom !!!

And what's with those tyres, and how cheap does that bottle cage look!!

How to make something built from top end components look cheap......

Frame, hubs, bars, forks and pedals coordinated, if you must. Anything beyond that is definitely too much.

It looks like an over enthusiastic 11 year old in a shed has attacked it with a can of rattle paint.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

And yet, the colours don’t quite all match.

To each their own, but it’s not for me.

If it's all the same colour, is it even genuine Kashima?

Well I don't usually watch these boring ****y "dream build" videos, but I watched that (or skipped through it anyway).

So it worked I suppose.

Technically, I'm pretty sure that's not anyone's dream build though.

Unless...

There is some OCD in that workshop too...

Am I alone in finding it weird that anyone other than teenage boys obsess over dream builds?

I just don't get it.

Can anyone really build a bike wearing a flat cap, not dropping anything, losing a tool, sweating or swearing though? I mean maybe the rest of it, but the flat cap? No way.

I bet the all-bronze bike came out looking half orange.

If the person that built it like it that’s all that matters. Not to my taste at all. Gold is the worst colour for, well, anything!

Disagree. Man uggs are great. The steel toe to unnecessary but worth the penalty for the rest of the boot.

I asked for gold stem and matching bits. I’d better ring him now.

No there isn't. Please stop using that term to describe organisation or perfectionism.
