everything you have got, keep. there spot on.

plastic dx's with studs ground off for proper flatland build of that era

plastic gt seat with front cut off and melted smooth

if you can track down a set of acs rl edge tyres. fookin long shot but would rule

gyro

sbc seatpost

tech 77's

see if del will do another deal with the devil for some era correct downtube stickers.

Philbert · « **Reply #5 on:** January 25, 2008, 11:23 PM »

it will be a 25.4

how many rl edge tyrs can you get?

SaMAlex · « **Reply #6 on:** January 25, 2008, 11:26 PM »

Generel Lee had a few pairs of RL edge tyres but I think he sold them all now. The last pair were on here only a few weeks ago and a great price too, but Steve's stuff always is!

rarman1 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 25, 2008, 11:33 PM »

i think there is only one pair he is willing to let go, but i'll ask for you

haha, steve sold 2 pairs a while back and kept a pair for himself, i dont know why i talked him into keeping them, cause he sold them to someone else a month later DOH !!

yeah tell me, although there is a place in the US that has a few but they are white skinwall and i want black

Philbert · « **Reply #16 on:** January 27, 2008, 02:21 PM »

for that era you want amber wall. the majority of flatlanders had them that way

rarman1 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 27, 2008, 03:00 PM »

yeah i mean white tread with amberwall, also i double checked and their ACS true 100 not RL Edges

Capt Canuck · « **Reply #18 on:** February 13, 2008, 04:33 PM »
