EXEL-SIOR !

Wow, great minds think alike :LolLolLolLol: I swear, genuinely, I had never seen that before ! that's gorgeous :D Yes very underrated. I think it is because they were "only" $199 at launch. However, when you have a good look you basically have a GT Performer with standers and so on. So yeah, absolutely nothing wrong with the design of it IMO and it was all 4130 as well.
Found some cranks.
£24.99, 19mm. Which I already have the American BB for. New, I smacked it out of my Quad 24.
Andy - skint for two weeks now mate.
Edit in. I still can't believe that LOL. I had exactly the same idea as you for the head tube thing (only mine will be sheet with the text printed on) and our bikes are exactly the same colour scheme (pink, black and white lmao).
D'you wanna know what else is very odd? I said to the guy I got it from - "I wish it was black" :LolLolLolLol:
Ed, here is the bike the bars came from.
The kid who owned mine must have done a swap with one of his pals back in the day.
Funkyworm:
Great minds Indeed !
There's nothing wrong with them at all , I also did a Wind styler , it's just Hutch snobs that don't like anything thats not (american made) Blah blah blah.....
Here's mine when i bought it ... Honestly i wish i'd have kept it original now ....
Midschoolfool:
Yeah, gotta love a bit of hot pink tbh. It's just so f*****g 80s isn't it?
Mine was white OG. It's all literally just been painted. I saw it before and it was in a right old two and eight. Decals had all been pulled off (poorly, leaving the residue for mud to stick to) and some one had put mid school parts all over it. Probably just to keep it running.
Not that I care about that much, but they didn't even *look* era correct. I mean a single pinch 3pc is the same as it ever was really. Once Profile came up with their design it was pretty much game over on freestyle cranks. It could not be bettered and every one just copies the crap out of it. I will likely just whack a Hutch decal over the Salt one and leave that as done. Might put some clear coat on to make it pop a bit more :)
pickle:
Cool but I actually like the original decals as well

They look fine on coloured bikes but white they would just be a bit "meh".
