What to do and which way to go ? GTS ~ Have a Goosey gander !

well just got round to buying some starchem of ebay, as the nitromors is as much use as a chocolate oven
even though i did have a couple of goes with the new stuff as the yellow paint was bloody hard to shift ~ still got some bits to get off in places
But i though i would show you any way before i carry on
two questions for you lot to answer
Right now i'm stuck
when i first got this fame in i had thought of how it would go and look - now nearly 4 years on i have learnt more and the wrongs and rights of building (well a little bit
)
i have tw0 ideas of maybe what it could look like
1. is yellow powdercoat with blue and chrome parts (this would be a close colour yellow to the original look it had
2. see if it will polish up and sort of leave it survivor style ~ the added tubing should polish up and the rest of the frame i will do my best but there will still be marks ~ again it will be blue and chrome parts
so second part is, it's a April '83 Team frame - hutch trickstar style frame stand and extra tubing on the down tube to seat tube - i have two sets of goose forks i can use for it ~ the chrome 1" or the 7/8" that came with the frame that can be powdered
So do i build it up as early '83 style or later freestyle style ? i know the yellow or the chrome will also make a difference to the look
so...
chrome early look ?
yellow early look ?
chrome freestyle look ?
yellow freestyle look ?
so lease let em know your thoughts
cheers B

Because it is what it is
Has to be
Yellow freestyle look
Not sure about the blue parts though Bendy,,its a bit GT themed yellow and blue
maybe red , silver or black parts would be better

i like yellow frames
but as yours is a freestyle i would go with a more wacky colour, plus as it's a one of a kind you don't have to go with a factory spec'd colour

I would be tempted with a black frame, chrome forks and blue bits... It would look stunning.....
It's in the decals...

yellow is popping for me at the mo but ?
just trying to imagine other colour
but you lot think it's not worth the time to polish it up ?
yellow
black
baby blue
pink ?
so would these bars work with it, as it seems to be going to a later freestyle look ! closest to the camera
and what wheels would you say ?

Those bars look very similar to what I had when I bought my 94 Vertigo, and I couldnt find out what they were.....gone now mind but yeah, I think they look cool
And maybe some Z Rims instead of the usual suspects?

Yellow freestyle all day long!
I know you have alot of blue bits but you could go with yellow frame and forks, white seat, grips etc with just the odd hint of blue in the decals, standers etc
something a bit like this but replacing the black for blue

Too much with the yellow and blue could make it look a bit burner-ish

yellow yes, but not sure on the white
needs a primary colour
think it will be yellow and the blue parts - starting with the blue mx 1000's - yellow blue grips - redline crank and blue DX's - seat blue (still yet to find)
but stuck on the wheels
if i go blue tuffs will it be too GT
if i go yellow tuffs ? what colour tyre ?
Z's
some thing else ?

Polish the frame and put motomags on it!
I reckon a opc definitely on this,twin pinchers will look too bulky as it is a short frame

Seeing as its a one off why not dye a white set of tuffs an unusual yellow colour and then match the paint to the mags?
Alternatively you could also snaffle some of the the new Eddie yellow 9tooth tuffs and run it slightly new school
