Tweaking of the Streetbeat.....
« on: March 05, 2014, 07:48 PM »
Hi guys, just had a tinker with the grey and white beat.

I was never happy with the black graphites and white hot seat and so have been on the look out for a set of mint mid 80's grey tuffs and a nice grey seat.

Well this last couple of weeks have been lucky for me.

First up I secured these mint show fitted UK Grey tuffs off Zippy and matching Skyway freestyle pads.

Also I scored this grey NOS Viscount Dominator-J seat from the USA. Never seen one of these before. They are smaller than a normal dominator, very similiar size to the hot seat, so this is perfect for this build.

Well chuffed with how it looks now and happy to say finally complete.

Thanks to Zippy and smokinendo from the Museum.  :daumenhoch:

Cheers Steve.

Cheers guys......


Mat, according to the skyway spec the grips are white so will have to keep them white.
I'll be pulling the donuts off...  :daumenhoch:


Not far off getting everything for the Lavender and White one now....just one elusive bit but it's not hard to guess what bit it is  :-\

Also got this beauty today so need to start collecting bits for this too.  :)
