Yummy, looks superb, the colours are awsome but i'd be looking for some DX's rather than SX's and i'd have to have a pad set aswell. A Quad needs a padset as do all race bikes to be honest.

I love yellow on a Quad, doesn't get chosen that often.

CD17 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 02, 2010, 11:42 AM »

I would change the grips to plain black, the yellow's are a different shade & clash a bit

this is just a small detail & probably just me being a bit

I think thats a great looking build, love that yellow Quad + all nice parts used

Love it Stu,much imporoved

Looks much more balanced without the chunky tyres and tuffs...proper lean machine

Good work fella

Very nice balance to it.

The thing is with building Stu, you will never please everyone, so make sure your happy with it, i think it looks proper balanced and really nice. Pad sets are a must, but again thats only in my eyes.

Cracking build,

bingo !!! bango !!!! lovin it stu

.. like wise u will never please everyone ,imo padsets dont look right on some race bikes but thats just down to personal preference ...

looks nice, simple colour scheme. i think dan is talking about your spokes, they look like they are laced with the spokes struggling against the holes(as in leading instead of trailing) on the back wheel. No biggy.

only thing i would change is taking them reflectors off the pedals, other than that it's pukka.

Yup, it's the spokes he's talking about . You need to re-lace them so that the spokes are angled in the same direction the holes in the rims are pointed

Nice bike though
