my '88 calo rider rep-final piece of the puzzle 16/7/18
« on: April 26, 2014, 11:45 PM »
can't decide which version to do rider rep build or catologue build  :-\
my personal fave
always wanted to do this build-carlo griggs rider rep from the '88 street beat test +the one he did the mega air at the worlds on





my version







the only things needed to be 100% accurate are :rgd stem ,tech 7 levers -if anybody had these cheep let me know  ;) ;D
then i wondered about the catologue spec

version of this






thought i would use grey ez bars instead of chrome ones to blance with the grey tyres

just the levers again to change ,plus the tyres -should be skyways but seeing as there mega bucks  :shocked: found these haro tyres ,think they might be copies as never seen them in grey before.maybe one of the haro experts can confirm
let me know your opinion's  on which you guys  prefer,thanks for looking  ;)

Looks ace mate, if you want to do catalogue spec you'll need victor 707 pedals as well as the tech 7s.

My one took some time (and funds) to complete.

Good luck on it  :daumenhoch:

cheers rob, dont know which would be easier/cheaper to get the pedals for the catologue spec or an rgd stem for the rider  :tickedoff: never mind a set of tech 7 levers  "help"
happy enough with it for now -unless i win next weeks lottery  ;D

Nike bike man. I built a Carlo tribute recently. I was down his place the other week.



Mine was a more modern bike using his parts.



He's a top bloke is Carlo. Have you asked him to sign it for you?

Aldwick mate. I don't originate from down here though, I grew up in SW London.

Edit. Gary - I will hopefully be meeting up with Carlo at the end of the summer. He's all over the EU ATM with his kid (his kid races Go Karts). I may be able to get his sig for you on a Proper decal (I saved a couple) so if I do mate I will holler you back :)
