Cool build, that grind disc with the beefy looking rims looks ace  :daumenhoch:
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

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  :daumenhoch:

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

Love it!!   :smitten:

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 :(

cheers ed what would you go with..?  :)

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?  ;D its the rubber ... rubber fetish yummm  :bondage:

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

 :surprise: together we will make it great.....  :2funny:

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.

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...... :LolLolLolLol:

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