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.

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

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)?

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!

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...

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.

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  ;) .
