Everytime I rode this heap a junk
my best mates wife told their new born baby:
"See that bike, that'll be yours one day"
So I decided to give it a little make-over and give it as a present.
I went with a team meets reggae theme.
As the kid's name is Zion.
And took an opportunity to explore and get some none factory spec goods on there.
First the paint job:

Then first goods found: new Oury grips. just $10 incl. shipping from ebay... what a find ::)

Then the first time I bought some porkchops chaindiscs..
Really Top notch stuff. Really eye candy when they arrived.

with some white wall kenda's.

Still some way to go but here's already what I got:

Unfortunatly I'm not going to use the DC 883's (Taiwan reissue).
the front brake is oblivious for this bike.
So I'm still looking for a black DC 1020 set or maybe even the Raleigh Foreign's then...

nice custom job, like the headtube decal :daumenhoch:
-
I hate reggee but lovin' that colour combo- be a cool skunkmobile that ;)
-
Now that's a sweet build - love the colour choice and well finished :daumenhoch:
so what colour cables ? and what colour pedals ?
now just rest it up against a sharp 9494 8)
top work ;)

I have these green vp pedals on the way (they're like suntour xcII's)
As for cables, white ones or I was thinking a red and a yellow one.
But maybe thats pushing it... :D
