AT-AT Driver colourway for my DP

Having finished a resto on this bike to the same spec as my brother-in-laws original build at the end of last year i've never been fully happy with it... mainly due to the absence of a pair of ladder bars.

Having finally gotten hold of a pair from Daletsunami I went and broke my collar bone the next day ( yin & yang ) so I decided to use the downtime to sort my bike out.

My fav. starwars character has always been the AT-AT Driver ( & Boba Fett of course ) so I thought that a colourway fit for an AT-AT Driver would be sick.



Just to re-cap... it originally came to me like this...



and is now finally like this...  :smitten: ...I'm thinking I'd like the seatpost and possibly crank to be white and I need a little more red to match the red helmet logos...

Nice colour scheme! Don't know about the seatpost, but you're right about the cranks.  8) I'm not sure the stormtroopers would have dice caps on their freestyle bikes, not sure at all.....

well you may well be right... which is why I need to do it like we did it BITD and get 2 x ATAT drivers to pull their heads off, drill them out, glue in valve caps and  :daumenhoch: sorted
