Cool build, that grind disc with the beefy looking rims looks ace

That is looking just as sexy as I thought it would ... just a thing of pure beauty.

My only question would be the tyres... are they 'stand ins? they are the only 'glitch on a clean tape' ( IMO )

personally proper 90's V-Monsters ... its a tough year to get tyres from - will check my mags

your problem is that it looks SO good that anything out of place will stand out ... that all

Very cool

Love it!!

Are you gonna slap some pegs on the back? I had a problem recently with my Kore pegs when trying to fit them to my Big Daddy. The front ones fit spot on....but the rear axle on my super pros isnt long enough to accept the Kore pegs on the rear

I ended up having to change the pegs

you could still get the ACS RL Edge tyres in 97 so those Oddy tyres ( which have the same tread ) are pretty close... just that big logo that gives them away. Good luck on getting some original ones tho .. rocking 'orse plop.

If you can get some then some Primo V Monsters or Peregrine Big Jims ( 2.1 version of the standard Pere tyre ) would be sweet.

Maybe the repo V Monsters would look less out of place ... why do I care about tyres so much ... why am I asking you?

its the rubber ... rubber fetish yummm

brakedancer · « **Reply #14 on:** February 25, 2014, 04:21 PM »

cheers for you input ed I know the tyres can make or brake a build

so I think I will look for...

v monster 1.85
khe lamella tan walls

or rub the logos off the oddys....

I was gonna say that about the Oddys lol.

Can I ask about the grind disc on a flatland bike?

I know I'm being an

... only paying attention 'cause I'm mad jealous

lovely

, still regret selling mine

brakedancer · « **Reply #17 on:** February 25, 2014, 08:28 PM »

well in the real world a graveyard sprocket would be my first choice...

but I do like the khe grind disc's

I did'nt want to run a separate spider/chainring combo

and it was cheap

together we will make it great.....

gary4130 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 25, 2014, 08:47 PM »

very nice mate -for the tyres go for black sidewall v monsters as there ed's favourite

i'd stick with the oddy's or go for the penegrine hp ones on e-bay -but there still repo's $:-\$

rodriguez · « **Reply #19 on:** February 25, 2014, 09:45 PM »

Very nice.

I'd go for v monster black walls personally repops or real wouldn't bother me which as long as I got it to look the way I want,

Another option would be Primo Walls.

midschooljon · « **Reply #20 on:** February 25, 2014, 09:51 PM »

Looks awesome.

ED209 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 26, 2014, 09:45 AM »

black wall V Monsters would look nice on this... or some RED V Monsters

never seen any!

jejames still have the repop black walls

cheers rod and ed for the links but im not into all blacks...

also the problem with the v monsters I have had in the past is the wall seems to have bulges in them, even the 1.95......

hopefully scored some tan wall khe lamello's anyways...

just had a look through this lot http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,131775.0.html

found them first listed in a billy's ad from apr/may 1997 (page 2 of the topic)

so fingers crossed

so we will call this faze1 of the mighty morales build......

thanks for all the props tho guys.....

fischflo · « **Reply #24 on:** February 26, 2014, 04:51 PM »

OK, so this is my favoutite chrome dtt now - i think the grind disc looks great on this, and those grips are simply awesome

....can't wait to see what rubber will end up on this
