HAVE I FINALLY LOST IT .......

[Steve P]

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

[Haro82]

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.  

[CD17]

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  

[JT71]

love it, looks good to me. and i LIKE one piece cranks,.

friggin sweet bike.

[djgivvinup]

I think you have lost it...   how can you not love that   

[Dingobmxer]

Change the sh1te pedals and whack a chain on, coaster wheelie it down the street with a fro wig on and job done imho  


  DINGO

[bof]

Bin the seatpost. Otherwise its a nice looking bike

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?

[munners]

I swear ive seen a bike like that before!!!

[brass monkey!]

nice Steve ! Very nice ! 

[phantom photon]

Looks pretty good to me Steve

[ORANGEZIPPY]

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]

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

[lazychubs]

steve leave as is looks sweet mate

[jedi]

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

[othomas2]

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

[Bob_Acid]

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

[macky]

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

It looks AMAZING!!


Great job!!! 

[meticulous]

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]

Would just change the pedals, otherwise perfect for me!  even with the layback post 

[munners]

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]

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
