Finally finished this, although i think it might change a little over time

It was inspired by Maurice Meyers orange beat but done on a bit less of a budget

Can't decide on the seat so here's one with it's original seat choice

Parts run down
85 Street Beat frame and forks
Skyway stem
MKI EZ Bars
Odyssey 2000 brakes
Tech 3 levers
Sugino crank with GT chainring
Izumi chain
Shimano DX pedals
Tuff neck seat clamp
GT Tyres
UK made original orange Tuff II's
AME Cam grips

really nice that the gt tyres look great on there and the red bits really blend in with the orange , can't fault it, its lush , think i prefer the white seat but i too can't decide

Beatastic mate...

I think the white seat balances it out but I myself like the orange one.

I need an orange beat...

Nice build, i wouldn't have thought it but that red sits really well with the orange

Looking great rob.

I'm undecided on the seat as well.

They both look ok.

OoooooARRRRRRR tis a cracker is that Roberto

White seat for sure

Nice Robert, who done the pedals

pickle · « **Reply #16 on:** June 09, 2012, 10:58 PM »

SBD did my pedals, brakes, clamp, bars, stem and power disc.

Andy, the lever covers are Honda ones........Maurice used them which was my inspiration.
