Changes to a bike.
« on: March 25, 2012, 10:25 AM »
As i've not really got any framesets left to build that i want i thought i might try to improve on a built one from a few years back.


So i might rip this to pieces this afternoon, i've just got it out the attic and it hasn't seen daylight in 2years or so, it's been pretty much unloved really.  :-\


Any of you guys have some ideas as to what i can do with it ?????   I'm certainly looking to change colours but it will still have to have a baby blue theme going on as i'm not getting another set of pads for it.

whatever you do, make sure you find a reliable courier to post it to MY house
Don't use the Royal Mail or you'll only end up having to look for it in Cash Converters afterwards








Looks fine as it is - the only thing I would do with it is take the pads off (I prefer to see bikes without them on) and ride it  :daumenhoch:
London ride would be a good idea too

Not a chance mate ^^^^^ It's a race bike, race bikes had to have pads back in the day and it looks naked without them.  :buck2: :buck2:




All the posts above have been noted, i know what i'm doing with the forks now, still not too sure on the colour. I'm certainly going to change the post and armchair aswell. I also need some more 9/16th pedals as the ones on here are off another bike.
