I'm in the process of building the wheels for her.....but i just stuck the zytecs on to get a feel for how she'll look, have to say even with the heavy(ish) wheels on she's feather light!!

not sure if i should cut the bars down a little either, they're 28.5 inches wide!!

And this will go on the front

that looks long as fook, wish id gone for that now, those bars are too nice to cut dude

This isn't the one that was for sale last week, i picked this one up off Greenmachine about 9 months ago, it's just been hard finding the right purple bits for it $:-\$

It's TT is 20.5 inches and yes those bars are sweet as! even with those wheels on i could still pick it up with my little finger no problem!

If it's windy at MK i think it'll blow away!!

Cheers mate.......yeah i was lucky yesterday......it was touch and go but with the aid of the MCS and the PS2 with Call of Duty 2 i managed to stay alive and get through the worst of it

Once i'd stuck on the wheels and bars then sat on it, i couldn't believe just how roomy it is! this will be my cruise machine from now on me thinks

it's just so cumfy, although it does feel like you've got cow horns on the bloody thing with those bars

dont cut them. that looks luverly apart from the horrid clash of colour with the wheels.

it still looks good, even with them....it will look rad whe you get those wheels built.

harris · « **Reply #7 on:** March 27, 2007, 10:31 AM »

leave the bars alone,i would buy another set and sell them.

pickle · « **Reply #8 on:** March 27, 2007, 10:31 AM »

Okay okay........i won't touch the bars

yeah that green and off white really clash well don't they!

I went to custom riders on saturday and asked them what size spokes i needed for aero rims and small flange hubs, they gave me 194mm but as soon as i started to build the first wheel i realised they were too long! i carried on though and completed the wheel and every spoke sticks out about 10mm

So got to take em back and get some more....otherwhise i'd of had those puppies built up yesterday as well

They are supposed to be quite rare........but i'd rather keep the bars with the bike, as they are MCS bars.......just means i'll be catching a few more elbows on the corners at MK

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #10 on:** March 27, 2007, 10:38 AM »

put spikes on them then.

That's a great idea!

Get yourself some mid school tyres - Winstanleys have Primo V-Track 2's in 1.75 for less than a tenner each plus post, a proper mid school skinwall tyre

pickle · « **Reply #18 on:** April 04, 2007, 06:55 PM »
