Just wanted to do something a little diferent from chrome and black? and as it's Mid skool i thought picking out the purple of the MCS writing would look good??

DINGO

Some of us hope so

pickle · « **Reply #16 on:** December 30, 2006, 11:19 PM »

I'm sure if enough of us want one then they will have too??

Other than mine having a 1 1/8th headset it's OS legal. $:-\$

i think the purple looks great, a pleasant change from black.
that lad that owns the pink one earlier, is either really fast or can fight

.......................it's, um, different

snav69 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 31, 2006, 04:01 PM »

Purple looks cool , I have these in purple. Sun - U.S.A rims with 10mm suzue sealed hubs . I had them respoked about 6 months ago and paid for stainless spokes but the rear has started to tarnish in places

the front is perfect. I think the bike shop done me on the rear

I doubt i will ever use them as i don't think purple would look good on an old school ride , thats just my opinion

pickle · « **Reply #19 on:** December 31, 2006, 07:51 PM »

so are you looking to get shot of em then?

snav69 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 31, 2006, 08:04 PM »

Dunno , I aint got a clue how much they are worth cash or trade to tell you the truth , they have a couple of marks on them but nothing tragic and they spin forever

. I didn't know you were needing wheels , i just posted them cause they are purple lol .

Paul

pickle · « **Reply #21 on:** January 02, 2007, 08:52 AM »

I wasn't really looking for wheels, as i've got some black aero copy rims i'm going to get biult up for it.......but i still need to buy the hubs and spokes, then get them built!

So if you did want to get rid of them (as you say you'll never use them??) let me know a price mate

I can throw in the aero copies as well if you like??

Cheers mate

snav69 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 03, 2007, 11:48 PM »

Hi Pickle, I don't really need anymore wheels mate but i put up a thread in the tech and restoration forum called "advice needed" to see if they were worth a trade for these cranks , what do you think $:-\$
these are the cranks http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=25868.0 if they are still available
