I have all the bits to finish it Paul, just waiting for the padset and some rim decals off Del and it's good to go then.

Will be putting Tuffs on it when it's being ridden though.

Cool.. Would you ride it if the Zs did not have decals? I had a set of Zs which I loved (prob my favourite wheel) but, they were in fabo condition and had rim decs so, I could not ride them.. If I ever get another set of Zs they would have ride-able, so defo no rim decals..

What colour are your Skyways?

ta,

Paul

looks the nuts Dan

keep them Z's out of Badbaldies sticky reach or he'll have them

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #33 on:** December 11, 2011, 08:03 PM »

i do like the Z's but I think they'll look sweet with Del's custom decals and tuffs are really easy to get. My other option is to try and get another set of Z hoops and dye those too but leave the decals off.

deeman · « **Reply #34 on:** December 11, 2011, 10:54 PM »

didnt I see a green pair of Z's for sale very recently?would look the nuts on there!

Those custom decals are better than the originals

Lenny's right green hubs on those black Z's

NORTY40 · « **Reply #39 on:** December 11, 2011, 11:37 PM »

can you add my Pro Class rims to that queue too Bruv??

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #42 on:** December 14, 2011, 07:04 PM »

So..it's moving along nicely now and as I get time, adding a few more parts.

Today after polishing the Tange BB components, I added said BB, rechromed crank/spider/re-powdered chainwheel, all Sugino, then went to fit my pedals which turned out to be 9/16"

Luckily, Dave (Brummie) bought the unwanted pedals off me and at the same time stepped in and sold me a set of nice black SX's, so everything worked out in the end.

The pedals fitted here are the ones off my GT, just to check the threads on the crank after the rechrome, and they're spot on.

Looking nice dan. Ar you going to go with green DC cables as a colour accent?

I was going to use green DC Jaymz, but the outers are a different green than the decals and Steve's matched the decal green on the padset, so i've got some jagwire outer cable that matches better, I doubt it would've mattered but i'm just a fussy fooker like that.
