never happy with this build. for some reason i'm not feeling the ripper no matter what i put on it. everything is still loose. I'm thinking it's gonna have to be skyways.

FFS, i ain't jamming the post down just yet. needs a re-chrome first. It's a troxel so it's a keeper.

i agree those tyres are not right for the build
sweet tyres though :smitten:

i think a blue set of comp 3s or maybe a new set of black comp 3s with the white lettering

Hi Sir JT

I know how you feel, i have a GT Pro and having the same problem always wonted one in chrome and red, but now i have it, its not quite right for some reason :(
i have tried tweaking the colour of the odd part here and there to balance the colour but it aint doing it for me.

I can see what your aiming to achieve :daumenhoch: , there are loads of black and gold one's built. For what my opinion is worth and as we all say there like ass holes everyone has one, but it might be worth puting silver or polished bits on to replace the blue one's with a chrome crank on her as it will enhance the baby blue decals. At the mo it could be the closeness of the blues thats not tickling your danglies. those parts on a baby blue frame would look awesome.

There again it would be changing the hole scheme so what do i know, so leaving as is polished or chrome spokes will even out the chrome bars and seat post on her

Hope i aint piddling on your flame mate just giving a set of eyes to help the love. and giving a fresh ass hole  ;)

I think i will have to put my GT up for some :daumenhoch:

Too many shades of blue for me; swap out the decals for another colour, maybe chrome on the frame and black on the forks.  Deffo ditch the Comp Pools, not right with a race spec'd bike unless you are planning on racing at Earls Court sometime soon  :D

nah, black and blue all the way. too many black gold. too many all done before's. Them stickers look very wrong with a flash, they are much more subtle than that. Them tyres rock, but i aint putting race tyres on as it aint for racing, fook, it has a front brake too. It's my stealth ripper, they won't here me coming on the pool tyres. ;D
it's more that i can't be arsed with a pk ripper. it's gone from must have to who cares, and it pisses me off.


yes pete, that is a torker six bolt stem ;) and NOS dx's.

FFS,

bars and stem need a re-chrome. it's a tight fit so i just put the head in so it would stay erect.

I'm liking it mate, maybe too many blue bits going on though. Not sure the anno blue goes with the blue of the decals so maybe swop a few bits out for black or chrome?
Just a thought.
