Right after my Drama Llama moment last night and having the pedal spindles turn up this morning I decided to change the cable sleeves and build it up with the skyways and full red tyres.

What do you think?













Its growing on me  :smitten:

  I might try and get a White FS880 as you front calliper on a freestyle bike if you can.  Rare as hens teeth though

There's one for sale here  :daumenhoch:

Coming on a TREAT  :smitten:

If it was me...

Red Panaracer tyres / chrome seat post / red seat ( combo matches bars then ) / lose the pads for now

SWEET  :angel:

I'm thinking the same about the seat post and seat. the pans are coming soon and the OGK's will get their finishing touches tonight.

Thanks again for all the + comments and advice guys.

I can only go along with the other guys and suggest Red seat, Chrome post and no pads....  :daumenhoch:

I'm so glad my build is going to be a replica of my BITD ride....If it ends up looking crap, at least it'll be old skool crap!  :D

fookin peachy - really liking that - stick it in for BOTM  :smitten:



ogks over skyways ANY DAY

IMO keep the pads off and change the front brake to an FS880 with a hollow stem bolt and its perfect ... but feck dat... its lovely... you must be very chuffed... looks a lot like the way Glynn Lewis set up his bikes  :daumenhoch:
