My TA finished (for the fourth time)
dannywhiteley:
Been meaning to do this for ages, and its typical that by the time I do get round to taking photos's I may have to sell it (moving house). Anyway for now its not, its mine and I want to enjoy it. ;). Can anyone identify the only part(s) to survive from start to finish?
It started here using mainly the parts that came with it, but cleaned up to a reasonable level. But I clearly wasnt happy...
Phase 2, swapped out a few parts but still wasnt keen...
Phase 3 included the switch to black tyres, new crank, brakes, seat etc with the introduction of a few red bits to the party.
Finally I think I am happy. JC race bars, rejigged crack, straight post, new grips and red DX in place of the blue SX (also binned the blue chain for a silver Izumi...)
The extremely eagle eyed amongst you may notice the frame/forks changed before its last incarnation. I sold the original Jap made (curved bridge) frame to Macmania and replaced it with a US made (straight bridge). Just something about it being US made appealed more.
Hope you like...

T/A's are a funny bike to perfect ::)
They should be easy , as you dont have to make a replica of a full bike ( being supplied as just a frameset only )
but I've had T/A's for around 3 years and always seem to be changing something or other for different reasons
colour balance , or era and factory rider correct :-\
I've tried a red and blue mix or just black components or as currently red and silver.
Laybacks , CW's and Skyway bars , DX's and Skyway graphite pedals still might have another incarnation myself :crazy2:
But I have to say Danny ,,,,,that my friend, is the dogs :4_17_5:
Love the one piece , unitrons, mixed Mx1000's just spot on fella :smitten:
