My 1st Build( skyways or ukais?)
« on: November 21, 2006, 11:09 PM »
Well heres a couple of pics of my first build,85 master frame and forks that i bought from mivvi :daumenhoch:
still needs pedals and finishing off but wondered what you guys think, i;m well chuffed with it but i'm not sure about the seatpost, may swap it for a chrome gt if anyone can help, also thinking black pedals and a blue chainwheel.
Even though i like the wheels i've bought some white tuffs so may change them, anyhow opinions welcome

Hey like your taste, have seen something like that somewhere before  ;)




Thats where my 86  ;D

I think you just need to lower that seat post a bit & see what it looks like, but looks good & would still look good with Tuff's  :daumenhoch:

Cheers, id seen your 86 and that made me decide the ukais would look ok,but the skyways may yet make an appearance, they should arrive tomorrow,i just like the clean look of it but im undecided on the white post, really want  to change the seat for a white kashi aero and i think a blue chainwheel will finish it, then i will tighten the chain.
As for seat height, i agree it should be lowered but i put it like that cos i'm 6 4" and if its to low i'll look a right twat if i ride it LOL

Looks sweet. I think I'd go for the chrome post though, that would finish it off perfectly.
