Another piece on its way. I had a full set of og designs pads but a set of Cali lites is real icing.

Just not feeling the black. I'd originally wanted to put some blue bits on so it looks like I'm back to plan A
Time to crack this packet, these have been waiting for this build for some time.

I'm feeling better after changing the grips and putting the back brake on.
I think the crank arm decals might be changing?

And a token stem shot.

If your changing the crank arm decals I prefer the white background with red lettering and think that may go with this

Just one or two things to do but in the main nearly finished today. So as the light was gone I put a dust sheet up in the kitchen to take a pic then photoshopped the feck out of it to compensate. I'm over the moon with this though and it's my favourite build that I've done . Just need to get a stand done and some pics at my fav spot at Bradford bmx track and the job's a good one.

It's so hard that get the colour balance right on a TA... You through in a hint of white and blue and to me it looks spot on mate!
It's a proper looking era correct looking thing of beauty  fistblump
Congrats mate .. It was well worth the wait for this one  explosion "wantit"

Smart as fook that Glynn :)

Great spec, love the graphites and comp 4 combo

Glad you didn't use Skyway pedals, the DX are a better choice for a pro sized bike, boomshackalack!

Thanks guys, that balance is just what I was after. Believe me a few options have been tried on this, black/white grips, silver and black brakes set ups, dk xxl stem, black tange lp440 with a 1"haro flex fighter, black tuff neck chainring & a power disc, blue kashi seat, blue mx clamp. When I got to this though it felt right, I was even happy with the look using third Velcro tabs from the plate as cable clips. It looks to me as though a famous white shirt with blue ringed neck and collar wouldn't look out of place by its side.
