Swap with the white one has fallen through so decided to keep it and use this (hope you dont mind munners) as the inspiration for mine. Nicest chrome TA ive seen.

And best bit is I get to keep my black tuffs.

Freestyle look - I'd go blk Comp ST's , new pedals & straight seatpost , MX900/1000's ( potts or cable down/up forks ) , OPC .
Race - Comp 3's/Knarlers etc in blk , new pedals & straight seatpost , rear MX900/1000 , Arayas/Ukais , race plate , padset .

+1 on the blk comp ST's, Shamano DX Pedals, straight seat post, race bars like 8" GT Pro Bars. Keep the flights - I think they're sweet on a TA.

Its the tyres that spoil it for me, needs black freestyle tyres.

jackel · « **Reply #29 on:** January 17, 2009, 08:14 AM »

personally i think the ta is probably the greatest build to do because so many people have different opinions on what looks right or wrong
theres so much that looks good on them

now someone sell me there white tuffs for mine lol

dannywhiteley · « **Reply #30 on:** January 17, 2009, 01:21 PM »

Heres mine as of now (looks so much nicer than that first pic I posted). What do you reckon? Only minor tweaks required perhaps? (black tyres - not freestyle though, blue mx1000's, power disc/red chainwheel combo, red stem, red seat clamp, a 1pc and blue platform peds)?

jackel · « **Reply #31 on:** January 17, 2009, 01:23 PM »

danny that looks a lot like mine mate
pesonally i think white skyways to finish that off lovely

dannywhiteley · « **Reply #32 on:** January 17, 2009, 01:31 PM »

As soon as the quad is built im gonna set about rectifying this and getting it sorted.

dannywhiteley · « **Reply #33 on:** January 19, 2009, 04:51 PM »

Twin pinchers have come off this and been sold. Going for a one piecer, with power disc/red chain wheel combo. Also got some blue SX's for it

telelogic · « **Reply #34 on:** January 19, 2009, 10:52 PM »

you will definitely have to straighten those bars before you attempt ANY freestyle tricks

Lovely mate

Jeeezzzusss...Dude, if that's with limited resources...I did my OS build for about £170...it's cool to me but mediocre by the standards on here!

You know, that looks like a bike a local kid had BITD...takes me back. Sweet build fella!

dannywhiteley · « **Reply #37 on:** January 23, 2009, 04:34 PM »

Cheers mate.

Stripped it down today and have finally decided to get it powdered. Always wanted a white TA, so now is the time to get one...

bobafett · « **Reply #38 on:** January 23, 2009, 04:36 PM »

Wow - big decision mate

Good luck

dannywhiteley · « **Reply #39 on:** January 23, 2009, 05:12 PM »

Yeah, ive pondered it long enough. The only parts im keeping from the old build are the wheels, bars and headset.

bobafett · « **Reply #40 on:** January 24, 2009, 08:07 PM »

Hope it all works out nice mate - is it going to be an SBD job ?
Keep us updated with the pics as she develops

Mattdub · « **Reply #41 on:** January 29, 2009, 05:36 PM »

Can't you trade it for a white F+F ? .

bobafett · « **Reply #42 on:** January 29, 2009, 05:42 PM »

I think danny already tried that matt.

I have tried mate, with no luuck. Couple of potentials came to nothing. I'd sell it and buy a white one as long as I didnt end up losing out.

Mattdub · « **Reply #44 on:** January 29, 2009, 08:26 PM »

I saw that you'd tried already but I would wait to find a trade or rough donor to do white , if that's the OG chrome then it's only OG chrome once then it's gone forever .

Plenty about , patience needed
