Author Topic: How would you build this? (Read 1265 times)

Dont like askin these type of things but im really scratchin my head with this one. Ive collected a load of blue and red parts to build it to match the logo colourscheme, but thinkin about it it might be too much. Ive got red tyres with blue Araya's ffs.

Now ive started thinkin chrome/silver spokes (must be spokes dont ask me why) and black parts - tyres, black seat, grips, seat clamp, pedals etc.

Ive got a chrome / blue TA and a white / red Streetbeat already and need to get away from those colours really (check my sig for more red / blue nonsense). Thinkin black parts would nicely bring out the logos more than anything.

If I was building it the only Black parts I think I would use would be Black Tyres, Seat and Grips?

Not a big fan of coloured Tyres in general.

I think it will look great built up anyway

Go with as much chrome as you can i.e. seat post, bars, wheels, crank, and use some blue on the chainwheel, calipers, seat clamp and poss tires. Alternatively black tyres

Sweet, not seen that photo, what mag is it from and who is the rider?

Thanks for the replies, put my mind at rest a bit - had a bit of a panic on.

Got the following parts so far:

Blue arayas with red haro tyres
polished alloy 3 pc's with red spider and blue chainwheel (see other thread)
red seat with chrome post
blue seat clamp
chrome rebel bars with red grips and polished alloy stem
got red levers and thinking blue calipers to balance against the red tyres
silver chain

also got surprise pedals that hopefully will work

and also getting blue pads to equalise all the heavy red influence...

Will put it together (got all bits apart from calipers/cables) tomorrow and take a few pics.

Gonna build it up tomorrow (apart from brakes) and see what it looks like.

dannywhiteley · « **Reply #13 on:** July 11, 2008, 08:47 PM »

What issue is april 85? And could you copy / scan it for me?

Or anyone have the mag for sale? I must see it.

fouronethreeoh! · « **Reply #14 on:** July 12, 2008, 08:15 AM »

April 85 is issue no. 29.

This is the best i can do at the mo as i have no scanner.

There ya go

blue headlock, red stem or red headlock blue stem, to create a bit of equilibrium with the blue seat clamp and decs seeing as headset is silver

dannywhiteley · « **Reply #16 on:** July 12, 2008, 09:01 AM »

fouronethreeoh!, thanks very much dude. You dont want to sell it do you?

Orgasm - I hear what your saying, but I have a lovely stem thats silver. I do have a NOS blue Cycle Pro headset that would even it up a bit, but the ano is a bit flakey from poor storage. Plus the hatta is in so tight I would be afraid to remove it an possibly damage the powder coat.

Decisions, decisions...

magna13 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 12, 2008, 09:10 AM »

Nice Parts Selection Dan, But Instead Of Blue Arayas (Just IMO) What About Going For Some Gold 7x's? So You Can Something To Match The Yellow/Gold Of The 'Rebel' Sticker?

Already considered that mate, I got some NOS gold Victor DX 9/16's from JT71

dannywhiteley · « **Reply #19 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:20 PM »

Heres where we are at the moment. Can decide on colour balance a bit better now, like possibly a blue seat (the Elina is only temp as I want a lay back).

Bear in mind it will have blue pads.
