Got a little bit of fettlin needed on this one, mainly wanting blue freetyle tyres, but apart from that she's just about there. I'm sure it won't be to everyones taste as some see the TA as a pure racer, but I like 'em with a freestyle slant. Sure I'll also cop it for the new Redlines as well, but I can take it

Sadly only got the frame, and had to use some tange aero forks as the TA ones are like rocking horse shite, but I dont think they look out of place.

So here's my 1983 curved brake bridge TA, hope you like

Sorry for the crap phone photos and poor visual backdrop, hoping to get decent photos when I'm done with all 5

Cheers me old mucka! Yeah, got two sets of pegs sat here but the Tuffs have been rebuilt on replacement axles as the originals were fooked so the threads are different

Might be able to swap the tuffs from the GT thinking about it though.....

yeh you might as well get the stunt pegs on the tuffs, a bit of red,white and blue

, looks nice good colour combo and balanced

Looks great and don't mind freestyling a race bike at all but i am not keen on those framestanders though. Great job

#Looks great mate, you sorted those spindles and end caps then? I respindled my sx today to get ready for my 3 piece, and what i found out was victor spindles got into SX but the sx spindles didnt want to fit into the victor bodies

That rocks dude

well done bro

Cheers lads,

Mick, you're probably right and I'll keep my peepers open for a set od mk 1's but as far as shape soes, I actually prefer the mk 2's. Just a preference really

Jaymz, yeah got the spindles and caps sorted out in the end mate. Big thanks to bigfatollie for giving me the spindles FOC

Ricardo, yep, think you might've seen it before somewhere

You coming to MK?

I love the framestanders and bolt ons too, but realise it isn't to everyones taste and it looks a look cleaner without. Still weighs less than some of my others with all the extra sh*t on there!

looks good mate ,will be even better when you get the blue tyres on,but you can you get a potts mod front brake sorted

motomagII · « **Reply #12 on:** July 31, 2011, 08:54 AM »

dordymush · « **Reply #13 on:** July 31, 2011, 12:18 PM »

Love it bud, now bring it to MK and get it dirty by riding the fooka

Darren KAP · « **Reply #17 on:** August 02, 2011, 12:07 AM »

Love it , at the end of the day its your bike and its only what you think that matters ,

bodamus · « **Reply #18 on:** August 02, 2011, 01:14 PM »

Looks good like people say blue tyres would be perfect comp III's or Knarler Knobbys.

brettypeeps · « **Reply #19 on:** August 02, 2011, 02:04 PM »

Great Looking TA and I am loving the platform. I would run a Potts mod on the front brake. Great fusion of colours

Cant wait for number 4/5

WINI · « **Reply #20 on:** August 02, 2011, 09:02 PM »

Thanks guys, the bug really bit hard a year ago. Four and Five on the way

Really nice mate

Some times you can get to hung up on re-building bikes exactly to factory spec, but bitd day most of us collected odd bits and chucked them together, so for me it's all about taking you back, and that ticks the most important box for me

Everyone round my way wanted a TA bitd, I'm the only one who still does
