I've just thrown this together but I'm struggling to like it and not sure why ... I must be going mad in my old age

Naff pedals and crankset I know but they'll be changed when rebuilt after a re-chrome

Maybe it's the white Tuffs or layback post $:-\$ blue Panaracers perhaps

I don't know

Opinions please

Steve

Its the tuffs. I would take them off and skip them......infact i tell you what take em off and post em to me. I will get rid of them for u

I think it looks sweet

I't looks sweet, the white tuffs on a gen1 look great but I reckon it's the layback that makes it look a bit funny. I've always thought of laybacks on racers. $:-\$

I would leave the White Tuffs, to many Gen 1s with Black Tuffs

But having said that if you do want to trade those Tuffs for some Black alloy hubs tuffs LMK

But leave the White Tuffs on

I've just looked at the the HARO's in the museum and most of em have got laid backs on so shows what I know

Maybe it just needs a chain

What cranks are going on it . Flights?

think we've got used to seeing get 1's with regular seat posts, redline flights and black or graphite tuffs,

like the white tuffs, but maybe a straight post and 401's would make it seem normal again,

but thats getting very very picky,

nice bike

, doesnt seem to need a re-chrome

magna13 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 04, 2008, 10:35 PM »

i've never ever seen a Gen 1 with spoked wheels

lazychubs · « **Reply #16 on:** July 04, 2008, 11:34 PM »

steve leave as is looks sweet mate

jedi · « **Reply #17 on:** July 05, 2008, 12:15 AM »

i think its rubbish and to redeem yourself you should post it to me for disposal......................FACT

othomas2 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 05, 2008, 12:17 AM »

Looks good to me steve... definitely leave the white tuffs...

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #19 on:** July 05, 2008, 03:29 AM »

I think the white tuffs look great on a gen 1. I kin hate vector bars though but that's just me.

macky · « **Reply #20 on:** July 05, 2008, 03:32 AM »

I wouldn't change a thing... ( maybe some Redline's )

It looks AMAZING!!

Great job!!!

meticulous · « **Reply #21 on:** July 05, 2008, 08:20 AM »

gotta contradict evertone here, and say, i think what you cant get your head round is the white wheels on a chrome frame which i think also doesnt quote look right, but its good for looking differant...

double chevron · « **Reply #22 on:** July 05, 2008, 09:09 AM »

Would just change the pedals, otherwise perfect for me!

even with the layback post

munners · « **Reply #23 on:** July 05, 2008, 09:14 AM »

I prefer it with a lay back seat post.

I only went with the crowd with having a straight post. I think the curves in the bars goes with the lay back nicely.

I would have to change the pedals mate to Shim DX's if using a one piece and also GRAB ONS are a must if you ask me.

Steve P · « **Reply #24 on:** July 05, 2008, 12:12 PM »

Thanks for your comments guys

The OPC will stay ... personally, I prefer them to the more 'flashy' 3-piece sets and that's just how I remember my bikes BITD. I'll leave the white Tuffs and layback seat post on and lose the 'GT' decal too

As mentioned in my 1st post, the pedals are naff and will definitely be replaced when I rebuild the bike after a re-chrome
