SO.... the bike I got from thebigdog (thanks pal for holding it) now FINALLY wears the green skyways I had to wait to arrive in the UK and has been reassembled all bar............. the grips...
I am trying to make my mind up whether to go for:
a) Black A'ME ROUND/TRI's
b) Black ODI MUSHROOMS

I know the A'me are an old school favourite but thats just it.... do you think the mushrooms suit the mid-school look better?
I know its only a silly thing, and for the price of them I may as well just buy both but I am genuinely interested in how others see the bike. It will not really be ridden hard to be fair so it is more or less about looks.
Heres the bike now as it stands with the blue old grips... please ignore them! lol...

Oh and please ignore the end caps on the axles.... I didnt want to risk it that near the couch and car without them! lol

This is looking real nice to be fair bud... I like a dyno compe .. The green tuffs look good with those decals.
I would have to give the Ame's the slight edge as plain mushies remind me of a few years early in his he scheme of things...
To be fair both would look okay but Dyno's GT links would make me go A'mes all the way fistblump :daumenhoch: :coolsmiley:

Black Ame's with green donuts for me.
