Title: 80's looptail Pro-Lite
Post by: gmac on May 07, 2006, 09:13 PM: Still looking for a nice NOS seat, but finally finished this today, as well as the Cali. Shame I couldn't find the rainbow decals and pads, but thanks to Simon (Retrogeezer) for the NOS pads, and Rhys for the DB bars, which I stripped and painted today, and Jay, for the cables :)

Don't see too many of these, and it was nice to build a low budget bike for a change, without having to try and source over priced NOS stuff. Not seen these tyres before either, but I think they suited the overall look of the bike.

Cheers

Guy :daumenhoch:
