Got a polished Tuf neck coming in a about a week and the post will be changed, possibly to a layback but otherwise, job done.

They are indeed Glen but the Quadangle Looptails are far nicer.

nice quad, is it rider?
-
I really like that, great mix of colours and is that a Revcore seat post clamp? The DK stem looks pretty nice on it too :daumenhoch:.

Definitely a rider, might make it's debut on the London ride in June.

Thanks mate, the DK stem, although it looks good is the wrong era so will be changed in a week or so to a polished Tuf Neck. It is indeed a Revcore Clamp, a NOS one at that, slightly polished, definitely not the troop ones that CW are currently selling. Apparently only 50 were originally made, How true that is though is debatable.
Cheers for the nice comments chaps, now go vote for it in BOTM :LolLolLolLol:

PS, I know some of the pictures are the wrong way round but i don't know how to do it.
A chrome/polished chainwheel would look nice on there. Would break up the blue a bit more. (I'd probably have to add a blue/silver zebra chain then though if I did that :uglystupid2: )
Cracking bike as it is but those refinements you have planned won't do any harm...
You could also remove the fork decals and re-apply them in your own inimitable style. RAEG GNIDNAL, sorted :D
-
love the quad :) going to put spokes on mine i think and take the tuffs of. :daumenhoch:
-
That is deffo a crisp build, seen this in the making :coolsmiley:
As for a rider... Everything's a rider where we're from >:D

In your photobucket account, you can edit and rotate pictures. Just find the seat picture, hover your mouse cursor over it until it pops out at you. You'll see a blue bar come up, click on EDIT and use the rotate buttons to move the picture around. Then click on replace original. :daumenhoch:
Now the bike.......
i would defo change the chainring to polished silver/chrome and i'd get on to Steve and get some pads made, Quads look naked without them. A nice black set with silver/blue writing. Maybe lose the tyres for more era correct but then if it's a rider then i'd keep them.
Other than that, that is superb. Amazing colour :4_17_5: :4_17_5:
These are just my opinions and i don't mean to upset you with my changes but i do love a Quad, so racy looking. :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
-
Mint looking build! ;)
-
Here you go, I have rotated your pictures.

Not at all mate, opinions are all relevant and certainly welcome, i thought the tyres were Era Correct :-[ What ones should i be using? I have much to learn from you boys :daumenhoch:

Thanks Ben,
A lot of people have said change the Chainring to a Polished or Chrome one but i'm not sure, i think there might be a bit too much Chrome in one spot although i see your point, i could change it to a PPP one

:LolLolLolLol:
Sean hasn't mate, he's just saved the pictures to his own photobucket account and edited them for you.
Tyre wise..... you have an 83 bike so should be looking for 83 tyres rather the late late 80's/90 tyres.
use this website for all info.

You boys are well clever, thanks lads.

You boys are well clever, thanks lads.
My wife will argue with you about that. :LolLolLolLol:
Anyhow, if you think a chrome/polished chainring will look like there is too much of one colour then try a Chrome/polished power disc with a blue suntour chainring. :daumenhoch:

Good shout Andy, right i need a blue Bullseye Power Disc and polished Ring, chainring that is. :LolLolLolLol:

I really like this build,however a set of pads would make it awesome :4_17_5:
-
really nice biuld, i love quads even tho ther only on my wish list.... at the moment.... :daumenhoch:

Very nice Adam .. :4_17_5: .. I would like a Quad Myself oneday ..

somebody with taste... :4_17_5:

Thanks everyone for all suggestions and comments, I will put a Blue / Chrome combo for the gearing, Blue Disc and Chrome Chainring or viceversa and now I have been told what a plank i am i will change the tryes to correct ones, as i say the Stem will get changed aswell but no pads are going on this bike, i do like them but these frames to me are probably the one of the nicest looking frames ever built so i wanna see the full naked beauty.
Also a big thanks to Vince (mincer) for the great restoration work (hubs, Rims, Brake & Frameset), Wheel building, bike building and general abuse throughout this build. :daumenhoch:

Great looking Quad :smitten: :smitten:
-
Nice clean looking build that. Normally I'm a pad freak but I reckon Quads n Rippers look better without them ;)
Are you going to ride it ? If so I'd stick with the tyres or go for cheng shin skinwall comp3's if you want era correctness without breaking the bank and then ruinining them by riding :daumenhoch:

i always think a quad needs a frame pad, as it doesnt say the bikes name anywhere else....

he's not the only one, i'm always buying stuff thinking i need it only to find i all ready have it :idiot2:

What a beauty this bike is :4_17_5: :smitten:
I must agree, think it needs a padset to set it off :daumenhoch:
But also like the shape of the frame, and seems a shame to cover it :-\
Wish i had a Quad to have this dilemma over ::) ??? ;D ;)
Cheers,
Paul.
