swapped the wheels from the one's below, the white wheels are weinmanns with sealed hubs and came on the 09 model. the black wheels are alianation rims with LB hubs and come on the 2010 model.
i like the look of the white so i swapped, will keep the originals as spares.

next to go were the cranks, two reasons here, one, they were 175s and i wanted 180s and two, they flex to much for my liking,
so on went a spare set of flights i had.

next will be a change of bars and stem, then the forks, but for now i just want the rain to stop so i can try it out round Hersden!!!

I love that Floval Russ. I'm hoping to get one pretty soon, but it's looking like I'll have to open a Shiners account to get one at the right price.

However in the meantime I've bought a white Haro.  ;)

Nice frame though...!

Fair point, Si.  I think you can say that about most completes (apart from the Redline Flights which do come pretty loaded but are also £800+ for the cruiser).

They're great for getting people back on the track but in the long term, I don't think they work out any cheaper once all the bits have been replaced.

One lad who contacted me had an Intense, replaced/upgraded every part over the season as it broke/wore out, then the frame snapped.  Unfortunately, I didn't have any cruiser frames in stock so he bought an S&M 38 Special.
