Have you tried leaving the power disk shiny and putting a blue chain ring on with silver bolts?

Blue disk and chrome ring?  I don't think that'll be 'right' either.  :-\

Stick the wheels on, maybe a blue chain aand take it from there.

I think the white cranks are making it look odd.  Blue chainring, silver bolts, silver cranks would look better:

I do agree with Glen though about the blue ring and silver disk  ::)



Could you not photoshop my bike white to give you an idea?  :D

I still have it and I decided to keep it as I'm rather proud of my one and only build  8).  Even after doing some a tiny bit of racing with it the rims are still undamaged, probably because I was off it more than on it  :LolLolLolLol:

you should be proud tis loverly, shame i didn't get a chance to take it off your hands when you were selling, wifes :2gunsfiring_v1:  but there a plenty on that bike i'd like on the Hyper and a friend who is desperate for a RS1 F+F.....

twist yer arm, c'mon tis only gathering dust, with your old man stubbing his toes on it....or come race again, old schools abit more tame now, all the rough uns moved upto cruiser :daumenhoch:

n2cus, sorry thread hi-jack....yeah, i'd go chrome powerdisc and blue ring, go with gut instinct and what makes you happy, after all you gotta ride/look at it..can always change it later, and like the others have said, wont know the true impact till fully built, but tis nice :4_17_5:

ohh, that is a seriously nice bit of kit, no wonder you cant afford flites.......chrome chrome ok, but with chrome bolts, or blue ring, think either option will look just fine, that is gorgeous :smitten: nice tight geometry too, bet that rides really nice, if feeling a bit twitchy, but they should...thats what makes em so versatile.......i'm jealous....and i'm a Skyway freak :daumenhoch:

Yep, sorry my fault with the hijacking  :-[

It looks good on the pic but I think it would look ace with blue ring, chrome disk  :)

Blue chainring & strip that crank , the crank really lets it down IMO .

If you're using atari ager's piccy as you're motivation matey then i reckon you've already made up you're mind to go with a blue power disk but try it with a blue ring just to see - i reckon it's got to be one or the other though chrome on chrome ain't workin. As for the cranks i can see what others are saying but hey fook it - it's something unique go with it  :daumenhoch:

BTW on the whole i reckon it's coming together sweet and it'll be a nice rupe tribute build  ;)
