Lavender Bits

[Retrodan72]

A proper 1985 colour, and a colour I'm thinking of using potentially in a build.

How easy is it to get lavender bits??

Hope you're not poaching my territory Dan?

 

[Retrodan72]

As if I'd do that to you Steve. 

Love that Beat.

Won't look like that much longer.

I was gonna splash some lavander on my technicolor sport, I only managed to find a tioga seat post clamp.

But wasn't trying that hard to be fair, sure it's out there if you can be arsed.

I've got a tioga seat post clamp you can have to get the ball rolling!

Hi there Retrodan,

It takes a lot of patience and plenty of searching on Ebay US, i won't go shamelessly putting up another pic of my Reflex this time

I have a show ponied Original 80's Dominator seat, a Mushroom Bottom Bracket Boot(ponied) and a front Dia Compe (dated 86) brake cable(never used)......if ya interested?

I also have a set of lavender Z's that i am in the process of restoring(only taken me 2.5yr's so far) that i may consider moving on(with ACS Z hubs). If you don't mind me asking, what ya got planned build wise?

Cheers Our Kid, you've hit the nail on the head with the 'if I can be arsed' comment, which I can't.

I may just go white.

I'll have a mooch about at MK, see what's going.

I'm guessing you really can't be arsed Dan.....just 28 minutes your lavender build lasted.

2 NOS Lavender Kashi seats
Hatta MX2 headset NOS
NOS Mushie BBBoot

Yeah, fook it, I know what I like and it's white white white.

Now I've remembered why I don't do Freestylers anymore.

Hi Al, nice to see you back on the forum mate.

Cheers, but I can't ride a coaster anyway Pal.

Cheers for the welcome back Dan...i sold up and took some time out...need to be a little more sensible about things this time round. Thought id sold everything then realised I had a few things in a mates loft being hidden from the wife lol

i did my haro sport with lavendar, built the bike around a set of lavendar ogk wheels i had for years and got del to do some custom decals for it.




the wheels and bars on my sport were my mates from bitd on his chrome gt, i'm the one with the pink dp firebird.

tbh I didn't think it was mega hard to find lavender bits. May take a little more time than white but they are out there and the good thing is demand is fairly low so not much competition when you do find them. Selling them is harder! Choice is the other problem....you might have to settle for another part as the one you want didn't come in Lavender. I agree though proper 80's colour.....I loved it when the of colour arrived on the freestyle scene, you were able to make your bike look so much more exciting than with the standard red, blue and black anno'd parts that were available previously!
