Title: Holmes Mid VS New!
Post by: JT71 on August 14, 2010, 04:59 PM
so I had an idea to get an old 1" dirt bike and make an old replica of my new school dirt bike. I mention this to Alex and he came up with a much much cheaper idea "hey, why not get Holmes stickers for your new school dirt bike" so a quick chat and pm to Del and here it is!
Saved me a bunch of pounds! Cheers to Alex for the idea and Del for the stickers!

That looks great Joe, a real pair.

Maybe swap a few of the parts on the old one to make them match better (Chainring?).

cheers Al

I'm tempted to leave the old one as is, cos that's pretty much how it came to me. I might get profiles for my new school.
That chain ring is a kink one, and I really like it, it is black so near enough.

maybe a red brake cable? for the mid.

and some of those United grips that are a bit Jive style for the new school?

should have ordered my new forks in chrome...wonder if Glen wants a swap? lol.

ha ha, no you never told me that! actually...you might have....but i might have thought you were joking!

I like chrome, but in moderation, chrome forks on my new school would be too much chrome if i get profiles for it too! lol.
