Nice survivor that Mark , I actually have 99% of the parts to make this a stock build , sr pedals, dc copy hinged clamp etc but I wanted to put my own touches to it ;) I like the later style pads to but John had told me that these graffiti pads as i call them are correct for a 1983 Cali.

Have you got a link for your rim resto, I could use some inspiration for mine.

Nice colour combo and knarlers always look mint, nice that you found blue ones to go with everthing else on the bike :daumenhoch:
Are they pro size chromo bars? Nice! ;)

Cheers Dan , sometimes the coloured tyres can look out of place but i think they work really well on this .
The bars are pro size , stamped with good ol' Maurice himself ........ John kept sniffing around these to go with the other 3 or 4 sets he has ::) ;D
