New Build Advice Guys !!!
« on: October 27, 2010, 09:07 PM »
Right... Postie delivered my latest build yesterday... 85 Street-Beat frameset courtesy of Del..

Have accquired a few parts of late but envisage it taking a while to finish, what with Christmas round the corner & all.

Powder on it is minty white..with very slight build marks, some of you might know it as he took it to MK this year

Can't decide on a colour scheme for it though, iv'e tried to envisage lots of colours but just don't know.

Was originally thinking White, Blue & Red  :idiot2:  Or do i get it re-powdered ??

Got a Set of white DC 901's
Pair of flights lined up also.


This will be my 2nd build, first was an Aero which was really for my daughter.. tho i do ride it  ;D

This is for me & i really wanted one BITD, so wanna get it right.

I know it's difficult guy's as everyone has their own taste, but any advice / comments welcome

All white except for a spattering of chrome i.e. chrome cranks, seat post, headset and chain.  Everything else white (make sure you get white tyres with skinwalls not all white tyres).

ditto - ghost it  :angel:

will look sweet - heed the Stidds word on tyres though - those all white new school ones are awful  :police:
