Title: New Build Advice Guys !!!
Post by: tobytyke on October 27, 2010, 09:07 PM: Right... Postie delivered my latest build yesterday... 85 Street-Beat frameset courtesy of Del..

Have accquired a few parts of late but envisage it taking a while to finish, what with Christmas round the corner & all.

Powder on it is minty white..with very slight build marks, some of you might know it as he took it to MK this year

Can't decide on a colour scheme for it though, iv'e tried to envisage lots of colours but just don't know.

Was originally thinking White, Blue & Red :idiot2: Or do i get it re-powdered ??

Got a Set of white DC 901's
Pair of flights lined up also.

This will be my 2nd build, first was an Aero which was really for my daughter.. tho i do ride it ;D

This is for me & i really wanted one BITD, so wanna get it right.

I know it's difficult guy's as everyone has their own taste, but any advice / comments welcome
