Nice rims  :daumenhoch:   I know you fancy Red large flange hubs Dan but a set of polished large flange would look great laced to those rims  ;)

I'm not sure if that would work Joff, in after low flange too.  :daumenhoch:

I have to agree with both you and Joff on this Dan.

Low flange all the way :daumenhoch:

But silver/chrome hubs as getting a colour match with the rims can be difficult. I had blue hubs on blue rims and the shades were off and it bugged the fook out of me, with silver/chrome you won't have that drama, eating you from inside, everytime you look at the damn thing......keeping you awake at night.....giving you nightmares when you finally fall asleep.....eating, chewing you up.

But it's you bike. build how you want

Very nice too Joff  :coolsmiley:

I've just been through the Robbo's in the museum on here, and if it's good enough for In2Robinsons and MarkyP, then it's good enough for me.

No doubting they will look great Dan , i was just showing you another option  ;). I had a tough time trying to find some Sealed red hubs a while back , might be a bit easier with looseball .  I actually ended up with two sets , one went on a set of wheels and the other set went to a RADster a few months ago .

I've bought some bars off Glenboy, cheers Glen, and they arrived today, so I put the grips on and fitted them.

What are your opinions on these guys, I'm not too sure about the angle of the rake, all my other bars look a lot flatter.

I agree with Rob and Nick , too much rake for my liking especially on a rider Dan  :daumenhoch:

They look nice bars for an earlier build , are they alloy ?
