Mate, you've done the correct thing in changing the posts. Like we said last night, white pads work better in my eyes and i still stand by that today after looking at those pictures again.

Nice bike room by the way

shame there some shit on the floor.

ok for andy and hunter here it is with an og set of robbo pads in white

meticulous · « **Reply #22 on:** November 10, 2010, 07:50 PM »

'experts' seem to look better than the 'pro's' to me, especially the bars.... red pads for me, as they are in better condition...

didnt realise you never used the layback... $:-\$

for some reason sam it just wasnt working,in fact it looked just god damn awful,i dont know why, ireally wanted to use it too,i think with expert bars it looked out of proportion,maybe with a set of pro bars it might look better
