looks well to me mate - not much of a mid man, but sure someone will help... :daumenhoch:
Maybe put it back to its original spec rather than changing it - but that maybe old school side kicking in.. ;)
-
could be a 98' judging by the below, but someone will confirm i'm sure

hi mate
i took the top gyro plate off not long back and measured the inside diamiter and it measured an inch.i wonder if it is a 1998 model then as the headset and forks are "1 threaded but iam sure iv'e seen premium lagers with 1 1/8 aheadsets and forks before

1" regular headset,you got 1" clamp on forks jazzy beast ..should build up well.

How about a pair of Graveyard ,Hoffman chocolate/love handles for the bars.Graveyards may be hard to source though,try on Global Flat forum someone may have some :daumenhoch:
