Kowalski ,

Go Pro size whatevers until the right ones appear , little bars look a bit silly on PL's

IMO .

kowalski · « **Reply #227 on:** August 02, 2007, 08:32 AM »

thanks for the advice mr dubb, after careful deliberation and a firm word from mr grem, i am awaiting an invoice for a set of nos tiogas!!!
cheers boys,
next issue is number plate it is a must have for me, quite like the haro circuit board, i have just bought one for the prolite, so will see how she looks, .......any other suggestions?

RATTY · « **Reply #228 on:** August 02, 2007, 10:47 AM »

Anything but the circuit board

Its your choice, but i think they look out of place on the PLs

I'd go along with Ratty on this one.

I think i'm going to go with my Tangerine Haro Flo panel. It'll burn yer retina's out at fifty paces

There are plenty of decent plates out there to choose from.
But if you should happen to find a White Haro Series One... I wouldn't bother with that either, In fact you should probably send it to me so i can dispose of it for you...

Also Matt' is right about the small bars looking silly. Those ones you showed me were only 22" wide.

That's tiny m8!!!
The Tioga's are a good option. That's why i'm going with a set as a stop gap. A nice sized, lightweight, well put together, set of bars.

back home mr little (kowalski), turn your phone on tomorrow so we can speak, hopefully picking up the db this weekend.

Mattdub · « **Reply #231 on:** August 02, 2007, 05:13 PM »

I like the Circuit Board plates , personal preference I guess but era correct for quite a few PL's on here .

Personally I'm not into the way I've seen of making one look older by putting older decals on it but that's just me $:-\$ .

kowalski · « **Reply #232 on:** August 04, 2007, 10:08 PM »

moohan nice to have you back, great news on the db pick make sure you fire up some pics on your own thread, this is strictly redline!!!!!

anyway enough babbling i cant wait til next year when im defo camping and os racing

thanks rad for a fantastic day

ps gav i voted for your leary, and the mrs voted for a white redline possibly rattys?

GREMLIN · « **Reply #234 on:** August 06, 2007, 07:46 PM »

Daryl m8. I'm gutted i didn't catch up with you. I was there, probably hiding out of the sun in the show and shine area.
I wore the black t-shirt with Grem' on the back on Saturday. I thought better of it on Sunday and wore white to help with the heat.

Thanx for your vote bud.

It looks nice in real life doesn't it?

Anyhow PL20 related. I've been here today lacing my wheel set up for the build. A big shout out to Sawzall (phil) for doing the polishing job on the rims. They look mirror like.

I managed to pick up a stem at M.K too. So the build is now on it's wheels with a stem 1x Comp III so far, and finally managed to source my flight crank arm decals. So all in all a good weekend. I'll get some quick pics fired up soon.

Grem'.

kowalski · « **Reply #235 on:** August 06, 2007, 10:23 PM »

hi gav, yeah the leary looks the absolute nuts m8 congrats thats a top build,

what stem did you source? i was hunting through all remaining stuff but couldn't find one

all i have got is a set of the old tiogas on order so im well behind you now, but am looking forward to seeing your photos v muchly! get em up asap
also did you say you had a couple of spare brake cable holders(the metal ones) ? if so could you pm me a price and your paypal addy again

RATTY · « **Reply #236 on:** August 06, 2007, 11:23 PM »

Hi fellow Pl lovers, sorry I didnt get much time to chat, I was busy abusing my PL on the track, I even managed to jump it a few times

There was some lovely redlines there, The white one was probably Jimwises, which is the nuts!!
I managed to buy a redline pad yesterday, I will probably never get the set, but hey I got an original yellow pro line pad

I also bought a few orphan wheels to play with this winter as well as some little bits an bobs..

Frosty · « **Reply #237 on:** August 07, 2007, 01:00 PM »

Just stumbled across this PL from the V site and thought I would post here, it looks the nuts, has and ESP stem and uses Robinson pro bars, so may be an alternative for you Kowalski!!

GREMLIN · « **Reply #238 on:** August 07, 2007, 01:23 PM »

Mmmm, that's nice

For now i'm still glad to be keeping the original chrome finish on mine. Even tho it's a little tatty in most places.

But that does look the dogs danglies

GREMLIN · « **Reply #239 on:** August 07, 2007, 04:13 PM »

I sat relaxing yesterday, mulling over the mad weekend, with a big grin on my face lacing the wheels for the Proline.
It's coming together now. Slowly but surely.
I've put the stem i picked up at M.K on her. Thanx Lee m8

I'm still waiting on my Tioga v-bars to hit the doormat (bloody postal service)

. Once they arrive i can then fit the calliper, cable and lever. As well as stick the Araya decals onto the rims.
I am still on the hunt for a Redline bubble script, 44t chainwheel, and a black Kashi'.
Here's a few pics of the build as of this afternoon.
I've cropped the back end of the bike out as i only have a cheapo tyre on the rear 'til i decide whether i'm going to source a 1.75 or a 2.125 Comp III for the back end...

Grem'.

Frosty · « **Reply #240 on:** August 07, 2007, 04:18 PM »

Looking good Grem.

I have just got the hubs I need for my wheel build for my Carrera II.

Don't get a fatty for the rear stick with a 1.75 for sure

cressy 75 · « **Reply #241 on:** August 08, 2007, 12:10 PM »

did a bit of cleaning on the w\e

also got this so i chucked it on

GREMLIN · « **Reply #242 on:** August 08, 2007, 04:43 PM »

Very nice Cressy m8

. It's good when you get your hands dirty and you start seeing results.

My bars turned up this a.m. Very nice thanx Mark (cbrgil)

. The decals for the Arayas are also spot on, as always m8.
So i've been tinkering today, again...

I've fitted a set of Amé Tri's onto her. Also an Aero saddle until i find a decent Kashi' aero to fill the job.
At some point when my Redline fluted post is rechromed, that'll be going onto her too.

Another couple of items off my list dealt with.
I'll probably fit the Dia compe pre bent lever, Dia compe 1020 calliper, and cable tomorrow. Once i remove them from my chrome Leary that i ran about on at M.k. All is good

Grem'.

kowalski · « **Reply #245 on:** August 09, 2007, 04:43 PM »

mm looking fantastic grem
almost there m8

GREMLIN · « **Reply #246 on:** August 10, 2007, 07:19 PM »

Thanks lads

I'm still deciding how she's going to be finished off. Tyre wise that is $:-\$ .
I made a decision about the brake calliper and added the Mx1000, instead of the Dia compe 1020 calliper.
Although that can always be changed over depending on my mood.

It'll all come together soon enough. There's only the one part i'm on the hunt for now... that bloody bubble script 44t chainwheel

Grem'.

gt0733 · « **Reply #247 on:** August 11, 2007, 10:54 PM »

Grem, i like the black with skinwalls. only because the gumwalls look too "yellowish" and black walls look too vintage for a mid eighties build. comp 3 skinwalls are pretty easy to get in 2.125 and 1.75. try Ginny's in the US, they have a good selection and reasonable postage cost

http://home.comcast.net/~ginnyrini/gr2.htm

these pics show what i mean regarding the sidewalls. 1st is gumwall and 2nd is skinwall, both have comp 3 tread pattern.

RATTY · « **Reply #248 on:** August 11, 2007, 11:02 PM »

Skinwalls every time for me, unless you can get a carslile agressor front tyre, like Stu used to run bitd

GT... your bike looks great!! real oldschool with the high seat
