i was looking into getting some laybacks made in aluminium bar. because i can get the 13/16 bar in 5 metre lengths(t6 grade) and cut to length and a firm by me reckon they can bend it., but if they will snap the seat tube as you say dan i think i may well be knocking the laybacks on the head .

spokes spokes spokes. still lush as mind. just would look lusher with spokeys. is the profile imp period correct??? thought they were more modern, just curious. sure someone will be along to fill us in soon.

WARDY · « **Reply #14 on:** September 23, 2007, 08:43 AM »

the profile imp is not period correct but i liked the look of it , so on it went. Also (thought id get in first) the dual pinch redlines are not but they were in black and i liked the look of them 2 go with the build.

Very very nice, loads of PK's are showing up recently, they're like fooking buses!

Wardy its your bike, era correct or not, you build it how you like. It looks great how it is.

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #18 on:** September 23, 2007, 12:23 PM »

Mint that is, I especially like the fact you did it the way you wanted and didn't follow the herd

Now get out and ride it, DONT put it on a wall and stand looking at it, it is for riding and having fun on (and looking cool as fukc) and you will have the pleasure of restoring it again in a couple of years

WARDY · « **Reply #19 on:** September 23, 2007, 01:52 PM »

it will be used i went out on it this morning , finding it a bit uncomfortable with straight seat post . thats why i will always prefer to ride this because of the layback

OrgasmDonor · « **Reply #20 on:** September 23, 2007, 03:09 PM »

keep the tuff on it dude, likin the whitewalls too, get a pro stem for it rather than a lay back (dk pros are expert length) a dk xl would do the trick
