Spokes for a race bike :daumenhoch:

However I understand Dan's ??? completely.
Skyways look so right on a TA, therefore I match Dan's ??? and raise him one :-\

TA's look great with Tuffs, having said that  im doing one and it's getting Pro Class rims 8)  , I prefer spokes over Tuffs though  :)

Yes ideally graphites would be splendid & tremendous...but as you say rather costly.  :(

So would you lot use spokes if you didnt have graphites? Definitely not standard ally Tuffs...? Although as Donna & Nicky have said it still looks good with Tuffs...

Exactly as Joff says  :daumenhoch:  Try a tuff on the rear and a spoke on the front, be different man, be articulate and build only for your pleasure, not what would please others.

Can I get you to buy all the bits and build a bike the way I want it please ??? That way it saves me a fortune if I don't like the look of it   :LolLolLolLol:

Of course it will be built how I want it...I was just interested in the views & ideas of others. Thats the whole point of the forum! :D

Both Spokes & Tuffs look good on TA's, but would only put Black Tuffs on though.
