A great aussie frame. Unfortunately not a very desirable frame. The Aussie bikes couldn't compete with all the big US brands. Kids wanted what they saw in the mags. Theres nothin wrong with them at all. Top spec parts made them a great entry level bike.
Nice score
Now on with the pics. Clic to enlarge the pics. Beware, they are huge pics! :daumenhoch:

OGK Hex grips
Crossrider stem made by Sugino
Araya yX rims, never heard of them

as for the pads and decals, i want to do chrome and blue but the decal design is different to that which I can get - the pads are yellow too and I need blue

Ah thats waza you scored that from. If anyone has what you need, he's the man. He has everything. And I mean EVERYTHING!
Should come up as a nice bike. Like I said, they are a top bike. And yeah they are 7x rims. The rest is all on ebay at some stage. Check with the other aussie guys too. You bound to find the stuff you need.
