I'm liking the Zs, but think the grey grips look wrong.  Look good with the tuffs though  :daumenhoch:

I say they both look great too, but I'm favouring the Tuffs, and also not keen on the grey grippage.  :daumenhoch:

Yeah, not sure on the grips...I have some black a'me tri's (new font) or blue and green a'me rounds (bubble font).  I may see what they look like.

Really like that Haro  8)

I like both options which is saying something as i nearly always favour spokes over tuffs .

Have to agree on the grips , personally i would put some Fuan/Oakley F1 grips on it in a Black/white combo (Fuans were the factory spec grip on these) ....... or dare i say it , hold out for a set of the NRP A'me Unitrons in Black over White .

Nice bike  :daumenhoch:

Tuffs suit the fitted components, z's work with the decals - win/win

I'd pick the Tuffs :daumenhoch:
