What grips to go on my pink Trickstar??????????

[bewarethefox]

My pink Trickstar build is nearly complete, just wondering about what grips to put on it. Do I go for the traditional A'ME pink round grips or throw caution to the wind with a cheeky new school Big cheese grip?? I'll add some pics to the powdercoat section as Superbikedan did the pink and a damn fine job the big fella did!!!

big cheese.


but then im not really a traditionalist.

they would look cool.

[Stodgy]

The big cheese would look very 'Hutch'...

but I'd go the A'me route as they are more 'correct'...

but it's your bike, you choose.

[Lazarou]

Big Cheese might look better but they are a cheap shite company with no ties to, or roots in, BMX.

....for that reason i'd go for the A'mes.

what about the pink shrooms currently ob the bay 

[bewarethefox]

I had a chance of getting some pink and white Unitrons a while ago but they were £100 and call me old fashioned but thats too much for grips! I'll check out the mushrooms on the bay...

[oberonspacefruit]

lol..this thread sums up in a nutshell the variety of builders on rad.....

And there are still here some people who do not want to pay £100 for some grips....

here's my Pink Trickstar......put some black on it, but it will be changed as I am not sure if the contrast works

your colour combo will look very cool mate, i'd stick with the pink a'mes IMO !! 

[bewarethefox]

Nice, I like the candy red one especially. Funny I was expecting more people to go for the Big Cheese grips!

[brass monkey!]

what wheel set are you going for though

[bewarethefox]

Pink Hutch mags

Pink Hutch mags

[bewarethefox]

I was watching them, $300 was my max. I have a NOS in the box set but can't bear to powdercoat them. They are going on my chrome Trickstar when I rob a bank next!!!

[bewarethefox]

[bewarethefox]

hmmmmm. The two auctions are different, do you think the ones I have bought are mini as well?

Looks like I've ended up with mini grips then as they both you in that Big Mac box.........................!!

[dj_benice]

looks like   they should still fit just not be as wide
