I think Nick is refering to the knurling where the stem goes, there wouldn`t be any knurling on the crossbar of race bars, and would you be interested in selling or doing some trades for the T/A xl ?

munners:
These are race bars. Your knurling looks fine.

I have sent Radman my dimensions before but i cant find the pm.

mark 2:
Wouldn't the knurling be in 4 sections , i.e. the 2 sections of knurling but with a smooth strip down the middle of each one?

That makes sense about no knurling on race bars right enough.. kinda under the weather slow today!

Hmm as tempting as it is to sell some of this stuff I promised myself I'd have a white and a chrome t/a in my lifetime since I never had one when I was into bmx proper bitd so I'm not selling or trading for now - I'll let you know if that changes though.  I'm still in 2 minds about the builds cos some of the things I have are totally NOS but they've sat in the garage for 5 years and deserve to be part of a proper bike.  I am missing a few bits to be able to complete both builds too and I don't want to lay out daft money to finish them.  I'll mull it over for now - cheers.

Keep the frame you like the most (be that the white or the chrome), afterall a TA is a TA is a TA...

Then sell the other, and use the money to build a no expense spared monster TA to rival that of munners above (surely one of the nicest around (its certainly my fave, and that coming from a non lover of chrome TA's - despite the fact I own one).  TA's deserve the best parts available to man.

That is my biggest problem, the fact that I cant afford the best bits available; doing a TA justice is hard work on a budget.
