Your struggling cos you have seen it all before Bert  ;)
What about some Shimano 600's  ???
Or my personal favourite at the mo some Fuji cranks if you can find some

Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

Yep, you could well be right.  I ploughed through 400 odd bikes on the museum looking for inspiration.........  I might just have it powdered matt black and weld a barbecue on the back as it has been the biggest twat of a build and is currently stripped again in the middle of the cave as I've decided that the powder is shit and it needs a trip to SBD.  Current favourite is looking to be CT crank with black chain ring........  I was saving the flights for either the quad, or possible my New Years Vector Mark 2 treat  ;)

So where do I find these Fuji cranks....... ;) tell me you have a box of them and you only want £15 posted.

Sorry Bert wish i had a set to sell you, i just lifted that image off the musum as not many people have seen them before i think  :-\

If you do find a set, dib dobs when you go to sell em  :LolLolLolLol:

I appreciate your woes thought. The whole TA look is always chrome/white with red, white and blue bits bolted on. It looks good but every fooker has done it now and no one has the balls to try something else. Besides a bright orange TA would probably struggle when it came to resale values.

Go on Bert i dare you, do something different  :daumenhoch:

Just been looking on the museum and of 367 TA's on there only one isnt chrome or white!

Never really been into TA's and now i think i know why.

Saw one recently that had been stripped and i could really appreciate the beauty of the frame design. I guess familiarity breeds contempt  :daumenhoch:

I do have a custom pad and decal set for it - red and black, rather than red and blue and its definitely not going to be running tuffs.

Out of your options it would have to be the flights or the 1pc if you're setting it up for race.

The CT's only if it's freestyle.
If there's air in the tyres... it's a rider

You can Buy what ever you want now you've won that new school ride Bert  :daumenhoch:! CT's were stock i think in the 1984 Haro freestyler & the sport when they put a full Bike out.  :daumenhoch:

I've only just managed mid school, my boy gets to go all new school on me the lucky sod!  Funnily enough I bought the CTs for a Haro build...... I'm trying another build tomorrow and I'll throw a pic up for comment.

I'm doing a TA '83 chrome at the mo - every bloody week I change a part on it for another colour or so, and it throw's it all out again  :D ;D

frame and forks by themselves are a thing of beauty  :smitten: ut trying to get the rest right is a bugger  ;D

I hear you - so far 3 sets of wheels, 2 seats, 2 seat posts, 3 sets of bars, 2 stems, 3 different brake set ups, 3 cranks and 2 sets of pedals........ Seat clamp has been about the only constant and I have a back up ready  ;D
