Your opinions please
« on: August 13, 2010, 04:05 PM »
Hi Guys, looking for your opinions on this so far - to make sure I'm going the right way.....good or bad opinions - I can handle it  :knuppel2: :knuppel2:

Had some NOS tyres through the post today so I just had to see what it looked like built with the bits I have gathered so far......its not been wheeled since '88 so I'm feeling pretty chuffed at the mo. would have preferred original White CW freestyle tyres but they are rare! ( know for some with Dakota on the museum but havent asked a price - doubt i could afford them anyway, but I will want to be riding this when its done 8) )

The pedals are Victors that I am getting the cages powdered white. Stem is GT mallet, a bit bent but being refurbed too.  I'll be breaking it down over the weekend and then getting it ready to go for powder.









once this is all done just got a few small items left to source so I'll be asking around when the time comes.....hope you'll be able to help.

Cheers.

Si.

PS just to clarify - this is what it originally looked like new

Looks good, I would loose the seatpost though & maybe change the grips, but everything else looks or is going to look good once powdered  :daumenhoch:

Will the stem straighten ?

Yep,  seatpost looks wierd!!  :D

It looks a bit bland at the moment due to lack of decals but it will start looking good once you bring everything together!!  :daumenhoch:

I don't think I would go with a layback, the seat angle is way relaxed as it is, a layback will be way over the back wheel  :D

But maybe give it a try, you never know  :daumenhoch:

Yes maybe, but it does look a little wrong, even if it is meant to be like that  :-\  it's like a lay-forward  ;D
