All my questions in one go....

I prefer to spend £100's of pounds on NOS stuff and then I realise it looks like a bag of poo.....
That's not sarcasm..thats the truth...it gives me an excuse to start a new build with the parts that didn't work!
I used to have Photoshop but lost the disks and have a new PC now...so I sometimes do a really poor Paint version with coloured circles for the wheels etc...lol
That way the finshed result always looks better than my scribbling whatever the colour is!

That's exactly what I do, except I use a program called GIMP which is free, and similar to Photoshop (at least for my needs).
I get pics of skyway wheels off ebay, then resize and reshape them so they blend with a photo of a bike.
Other parts can just be colour-filled.
Works pretty well to get an idea of how the colours will look.

Here's a pic I edited before choosing colours with my last TA . . . the first pic is the original

It is for show rather than race but also building a seperate race bike.
Cheers

I was going to go with red ukais but they went sky-high on ebay the other night....then when I went to Biagio to get a pair - he was watching the auction and put his price up....suppose you sell for whatever someone's willing to pay...
but I won a nos pair of z-rims the last night with compIII blue/green labels....I'm sure I'll find some sucker who'll buy those tyres for £100 in 6 months time...lol
Yours exploititively....
