Did these come with tan walls when new, I can't remember, would it look bad to put black tyres on it?

This is coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

sparkysx · « **Reply #79 on:** July 08, 2012, 09:39 PM »

So Primo v monster tan walls? what would be best suited to this?

Mdbh · « **Reply #80 on:** July 08, 2012, 09:49 PM »

There's so many choices I suppose it all dep on ya budget:)

kev-s · « **Reply #81 on:** July 08, 2012, 09:55 PM »

if you want to be era correct then primo tyres are out as they didnt come along till 94

look at gt freestyle tyres, haro tyres, peregrine tyres etc...

Haro tyres would be good but prob cost loads and maybe to hard to find, want to spend as little as possible really. Just want it to look like it did in 1991. Im using a oddy pitbull on the rear which wasnt standard so the tyres dont have to be indentical.

If you are on a budget and just want the look you could go for these

Check Porkchop and see what he has, don't think he has any black comp ST's though

Think i will prob go with primo v monsters, can get them for £15 each. I had those xposure tyres on an 09 freestyler and they wernt great. Thanks for the link though.

be careful with the new school tanwall primo v monsters, any more than the recommended 65 psi max pressure and the sidewalls start to bulge quite badly, i returned 2 sets because of this and know other people who have too

when you spin the wheel the tyre makes it look like the wheel is buckled

sparkysx · « **Reply #86 on:** July 10, 2012, 07:18 PM »

Ordered them now, but will bear that in mind! prob have to mock fit them to my other bike when I get them as I don't have wheels for the Edge yet.

Cheers for the heads up!

sparkysx · « **Reply #87 on:** July 10, 2012, 07:36 PM »

anyone know what length the crank is as standard on this bike?

sparkysx · « **Reply #88 on:** August 22, 2012, 12:12 AM »

Bike is now sprayed, forks are powdered, decals applied tonight, which was pretty hard!

midschooljon · « **Reply #89 on:** August 22, 2012, 12:24 AM »

Nice to see you making progress on this build

Bike looks awesome with its fresh paint and decals.

sparkysx · « **Reply #90 on:** August 22, 2012, 12:41 AM »

The colour looks a bit yellowy on these pics but in the flesh it's spot on match for the original day glow yellow, just waiting for the bottom gyro part and original bearing cups to come back from the painters, scared about banging those into this nice frame though!

Groove BMX are going to lace my NOS Araya's everything else is powdered and ready, just need a straight seatpost now.
