yep,white gumwalls will look better imo,a nice set of panaracers are probably your best bet! :daumenhoch:

managed to track down a few more bits, so progress report time..
started bleaching the skyways, but have found that cheap bleach is a no-no. took nearly 3 days for the one on the right. domestos here i come.
didnt want to buy new stuff for this really, but the seat and pedals are very distinctive, so didnt have a choice. sweet find with an SR cosmo-lite crank, as fitted BITD, horrible chain ring wont be staying as i have now found an original mongoose spider that is on its way :) clear brakelines from porkchop as fitted originally








still need lay back seat post (something i can paint) and some white tyres with tan/gum walls. dont want to fit comp3 style though...
