Title: Minty Webco arrived today
Post by: liddle145 on June 13, 2012, 07:19 PM
This arived from the Netherlands (Thanks dannyd) today and well happy with it.. Chrome is nice and clean and will come up a treat with a bit of work but it is going to be a rider so dont want to go to far with it, not sure wether to strip the stickers off as they are a bit scratched and get some new made up ? would this be wrong ??

any comments and if anyone knows anymore about these bikes any info/pics would be appreciated

1994 Webco Mentos 21" top tube.

Came with GT pro bars with a webco sticker aswell as GT would assume it was not factory ??  GT upside down stem and he even threw in a brand new mori Epoch headset.

Nice - just my opinion, but leave the decals as-is - a bike's only original finish once :)

Yea that was my train of thought but it would look nice all polished up with new decals, still undecided on decals might get it up and running first before i decide

Cheers for comments

Love this bike.  :smitten: Preferred the profile chainwheel as the new one is a bit old school for the build but its a lovely bike noen the less. Svelte seat is spot on.  :daumenhoch:

Cheers for the comments

Just put the profile back on but think it needs a black chainwheel, to much blue ? or put the black crupi pedal cages on which arent as Good condition the blue ones ??

Rides nice though
