seemed a good idea at first but now feel it needs re-doing.
what are your opinions? :daumenhoch:
R.I.P  O.M. Far short of the finish line...

each to their own, but here's my take on it.

yellow grips(oakley .5), matching yellow seat  (kashi.shotgun/jaguar and maybe some silver mx1000 swap for the red ?

maybe some nice silver ukai's, instead of the z's, ?

man, you could fook about with all day.. :D

just mix it up a bit more..plenty of chrome and yellow to blend in and out of ?

either way, lose the seat...its poo :angel:

there is no gold on the bike mate.

you've already got lots of colours on it mate..gold is another and in my opinion one too many?

black, silver, yellow, chrome, red..stick some gold on as well ?

take a couple of pieces of red off, and colour code in with some other stuff..

would make a massive difference..

some nice yellow, silver or black bits would tie it all together..

matching seat and grips though, which ever way you go :daumenhoch:

Nice F&F :smitten:, i thought yellow skyways / silver ukias straight away maybe chrome if you can find some, chrome crank and defo the yellow oklyes and kashi seat, if you want to keep the red callipers then put yellow cables on. it will keep it together, but thats my opinion. i aint no expert.  :daumenhoch:

Needs gold componentry Sam, seat clamp, chainring, etc.  Love those frames the guy that I sold mine to bitd still has it I think  ::).

Also, push the seat back on the rails so that it's a little more centered - will make a huge difference to how the bike looks and I'd tug the bars back just a little too  :daumenhoch:.  Other than that another cracker  :4_17_5:.

Put a gold crank on it and swap the seat, will look balanced then. Gotta love Torker's  :smitten:

I would go for the following:
Seat Green
Lilac Tuffs
Pink DC's
Blue cranks
Yellow pedals
Orange Freestyle Tires
Yellow Ame Tri's
Frame Forks - Dark Brown

I had the same feeling with my red skyway right before I split it..

dunno what it is about red but sometimes too much can be just too much...

or is it just red is not my colour, I blame man utd for that  ;)

I like it all I would do is change the Seat and Grips to a Black Jaguar Seat and Black Oakley .5 or AME Grips and add some Black Pedals.

Very nice bike though :daumenhoch:

i've added a bit of black to tone things down a bit, i sort of like it a bit more,as its just not financialy viable to buy all new parts, its just like bitd, i soon get bored with colour schemes... :daumenhoch:

Sam

Looks a lot more balanced now, personally a one piece cranks really suits a Torker but the alloy one looks just as good (maybe a strip and polish?).

Cracking looking bike still, loved my Torker bitd and still have the original frame pad  :shocked:  ;).
