I can remember seeing all of these parts being engraved by CNW who I was following on Facebook.
Jason Stephenson’s amazing scooter has not disapointed and seeing it for the first time at Scooter Expo2 I think it is one of the very best that the scootering world can offer.
Simply Retro completed the build with engraving done by CNW, paintwork by David Dickenson @DDK, top of the range in every way.
