Hi Marty,

They're T1000 rims. I noticed you liked Wolfy's as well. They used to be mine as well.  :daumenhoch:

They're laced to TNT Derringer hubs and spin as smooth as anything out there.

I've got some Odyseey Black Widow cranks to go on it as soon as the BB arrives.

I did have a nice set of Redline Flights but I sold them.  :LolLolLolLol:

That will look sweet when done, I really like the Black Widow Cranks (expensive though) and T1000 rims.  I'm tempted to get a set of t1000's for my ELF as it's from about the same era but am undecided whether to keep it or not (again!).

The Flights looks the business on my Haro, which reminds me I need to finish it and get some pics posted!

In general Robinson pads are like rocking horse do do, but they're the only pair of that style I've ever seen.

Thought I'd update with the cranks on it. These are absolutely lovely cranks and not that common.

I was going for a blue and chrome scheme but I sold the blue araya's to stodgy so I went with these instead. To be honest though I may put my flights on it instead. Not sure. I've got to many Aero pro's to think about at the moment  :LolLolLolLol:

Went with this set up in the end. Quite like it and it's a lot different to the Pro I raced last year. It's not as bling as I usually like my bikes to be but it's a tool. I've just got to finish of my other pedal and the bike is finished.
