there's just something about them....

think we all have a favourite, i could sell all my collection just to fund a quad a family....

might just do that....

All done bar the chain thats in the shed. Onlything I might change is the chainring to a blue one. And I have a much nicer blue and white padset coming.

83 Quadangle frame
Landing Gear unstamped forks
NOS Tange 320 headset chrome/blue
SR polished stem
NOS Rickman Reynolds 531 race bars
A'me Tri's
Polished DC MX1000 front and rear with blue Tech 3 levers
Z-rims laced to Suzue hubs
NOS rainbow label Comp III
NOS Hanabishi 3pc crank
Shimano SX pedals
Dia Compe MX hinged seat clamp
NOS Reynolds 531 seat post
Kashi Aero seat

Whats even better is I built this with predominantly the money I got for the much lower spec Streetbeat I sold recently. Cheers to everyone who helped with parts etc, better pics to come in daylight...

Very Very Nice Danny!

loving the Hanabishi's on there! gets a bit boring seeing 401's on almost every new build you see

Lovely build mate

It'll be perfect with the blue n white padset - i see you kept the white seat clamp - i think it goes well mate

Thanks....

Yeah, decided to keep the white MX in the end, although may at some point swap for a polished/chrome Hutch donut? I think the bit of white works ok.

Yeah, I need a pair of 1.75's at some point and I can make two fat/thin pairs, one for this and one for the TA

meticulous · « **Reply #41 on:** January 29, 2009, 07:25 PM »

thought so...

it makes the zeds look small, thats all....

dannywhiteley · « **Reply #42 on:** February 03, 2009, 06:30 PM »

Got the blue and white pads in the post, got them on the bike and just need some piccies now complete for the BOTM. Really pleased with it, thanks again to everyone who helped.

munners · « **Reply #43 on:** February 03, 2009, 06:41 PM »

I think it looks lovely Dan.

One thing though..................i bet it looks a 1000% better in the flesh. Photos dont do the candy blue quads justice.

southern andy · « **Reply #44 on:** February 03, 2009, 06:51 PM »

I think you did the correct thing Danny in leaving the white clamp on there, with the white forks and the white on the padset, that must look superb finished.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the finished bike.
