How did the wheel building go? I've just built a pair and found it surprisingly hard but the end results are well worth it. GLW the build.

thats looking nice dude. ur nearly there :) applying decals is bit of a nite mare :( i had energizer do mine the other nite on me haro fst . and we ended up useing water .couldn't get the bottom decal straight but bit water sorted it for us in the end :) try using hair dryer to get them stuck down propley thats wat i did and now they look minto.. :)
-

Silver or polished calipers would have looked well with the black paintwork and the stem/seat clamp already being polished. :daumenhoch:
-
I've got a black 6mm boa and don't fancy stripping it coz of the bearings, I stripped the pit bull bk to bare ally and the casting was a bit shit and could not be botherd to sand/polish etc I would like em done, but maybe something I can do in the future don't need to throw a bucket load of money straight at it!
-
black is the way then :daumenhoch:
-
For fooks sake I've just polished mine!! Now black is in again! :'(
