made a start on the white pk i got the other day just a mock up i have been after something to use one of the 2 sets off buff z rims on i have but on all my existing bikes they just didn't look right and with them being a sort of cream ivory colour they are weird to get tyres to look right on , i got the whitewalls the other day with some wheels and as the whitewalls have mellowed with age i thought i'd try em and i like em on , need some bits to finish need a white brake lever ,chainring (not sure on chainring colour i'm thinking black with machine teeth but maybe white or silver , inner tubes

need the headset yet as well, its getting a bit crowded in the spare room i really need to stop now

right finished well nearly just need some decals for headtube and uni and i might change the chain ring to a black one and brake lever is a left hand one upside down sorry about that

, i'm getting as bad as you lot now i really need to slow down but you have a set of wheels and and end up buying all the rest of the bits to make a bike round it

, its a disease it really is adam and i think im infected

if you strip the wheels and sand down the top layer lightly with 120 grit sandpaper then some 14/1500 wet'n'dry they will come up nearly white

I dont think they look right...you need to sell them

That should look great Glen if you can get those Zs looking minty white mate.

They're meant to be slightly off white , same colour as the Z hubs

But

Those of Gaz's look the nuts and really how they should have made them originally

Coming along nicely Glen

For god sakes , sort the seat tube decal , thats been put on the headtube

and where is the head tube decal then

on the bb underside ?
