Not feeling this build, what would you suggest? (updated with new pics!)

(1/10) > >>

dannywhiteley:
I need to do something about this T/A, cos I am just not feeling it at the moment.  I appreciate the parts arent all that, but think I could do better with my (limited) resources.

Currently running (updated since pic below)

T/A frame / forks
Black Alloy hub Tuffs
copy blue comp III pattern tyres - these need to go as a minimum
Dia Compe 901 brakeset - this needs to go as a minimum
1984 Haro Sport 4130 bars
Blue A'Me grips
Early DK stem
Kashi Aero seat
GT layback post
Hanabishi 3pc crank
Blue Tuff Neck chain wheel
Sharkbite pedals - these need to go as a minimum

Thinking about powdering the frame white and building with red parts/white tuffs.  Or keeping chrome and going black parts.

Whats the main problem with it as it stands (the tyres?)...

JT71:
POWDER IT WHITE!

but forget all that red stuff you need one of these:

the pedals are in the wrong way?  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

Stodgy:
Overall looks okay dude!

But...

Change the bars to some race ones.

Slap on a set of Skyway Pads.

Change the pedals for something era correct.

Are those twin-pinch flights? If so, change 'em for a 1pc.

Job Done.

HARODAVE:
leave it chrome , you`ve got a white one already ...if it were me i`d stick a stright post in , swap the black tuffs for blue and swap the bars for chrome skyway ones ...and get out and ride it!!!

I meant to say, it does have a set of Skyway pads on now.

Bars are now Haro Sport 4130 ones (more race looking).

And crank is now era correct Hanabishi 3 piece.

Defo need to change pedals and tyres though if nothing else.
