Now I had a chance of a chrome pre stamp, and thought I would go down the route of gold parts........

However some of the golds simply don't match.........

As for laid back seat posts I simply hate them.......

Stick with it, or go black parts ?

Yellow Kashi mx ?

In the 1st pic the Suntour looks like the odd one out, The others dont look too far apart.

If mine, I would use the chrome Sugino spider, and use a Sugino chainring with machined teeth, it will keep the amount of good down, and give a nice balance.

The power disc would be too much IMO.

In the light the stem matches the rest, it's the brakes that are completely wrong!

I do agree with the power disc - just waiting to try a chrome power disc with a gold PPP / tuf neck chain ring !

That could work nicely.

I'm not sure about a straight seat post though Nick, I'm not sure it will suit a Performer.

Blue parts would look nice

I don't like Elina's or Kashi MX's on a layback, the seats are too straight, Aeros or something similar always look better, as for the gold...I'd go green

Liking the gold, you could always get them parts stripped and anno'd so they match

oldschoolace · « **Reply #8 on:** March 23, 2014, 10:56 AM »

Seat wise it's crying out for a yellow aeroyal

I had a straight on mine for a while, just looked wrong. Layback = freestyle IMO.

Gold is an odd one, I mixed gold and red on my GT cruiser because I couldn't match the gold.

All the gold parts are now ACS, that helped.

Bloody kids bikes

Blue Kashi Aero, Yellow over Blue B-1B's,

chrome MX1000/900's, chrome Tech 3's and Yellow DC cables.

Layback always on an early Freestyler

Liking the idea of chrome powerdisc and Gold PPP ring

This was my '84 with a straight post. It worked for me back then but now I run a layback for more leg room.

I'm liking the the gold/chrome colourway alot. Very

I would go gold and chrome. As said silver spider, gold chainring and yellow seat.

Looking cool. Will be an eye catcher in the summer sun.

(if we get any) $:-\$

Chrome and gold looks good, Tim's one from bitd looks great with a straight post too or maybe trim your post back a little so it's not so far back (it looks like it's been smoking a reefer it's that laid back)

Black! (Once you go black you'll never go back!;)

Looking good Nick , better with the yellow seat .

Jaan · « **Reply #19 on:** March 23, 2014, 02:47 PM »

Although I'm an Elina freak I'd say go with the MX but that might change once the tyres and grips are on. What are your thoughts for those?

Gashead · « **Reply #20 on:** March 23, 2014, 03:52 PM »

Either black gum wall Panaracers or GT tyres

Grips, F1's maybe, yellow and black

Emptying the feckin loft to find the brakes has given me a headache

I almost fooking fell out too.......jarred my neck, hit my wrist, and lost the footing on the ladder....

All part of the joys of dicking about with children's bicycles.
