Nice one, they DX pedals too?
-
They are Victor DX pedals! Fusion stem, Odyssey chainring, GT seat, Peregrine Q2 bars, unbranded 48's. May try and get the crappy black spray paint off and back to its original green...
-
nice bike stevo
should clean up nice! complete too.
the forks are not original though. they are meteor lite forks. and the bars look like mid-late 90's oddys
-
Cool - difficult to get hold of decals for them though (apparently) :-\
-
Youre right about the forks - and theyre actually bent... and as for the bars, theyre defo Peregrine Qbars as I use to own them [bought them new from Billys in about 92, and sold them to the guy who gave me the bike! They were chrome but are now covered in bad paint!
-
Great bike, I had one in the early 90's :daumenhoch:
-
:daumenhoch: what a neat resto project, you've pretty much got it all there, powdercoat? colour? is it going to be a rider?
-
Probably going to be a rider, thouh im not sure about colour etc.. when I get round to it I'll get missfits to spray it , what colour do you thnk? Or should I get it chromed?
-
I'd say it's too long and thin to be white or yellow, candy apple red might work, I'd go with orange but then I always do!!!
-
Orange sounds good, then again Im tempted by white...! The forks on there are meteor lites, and theyre bent at the crown... But would you believe it, ive just got back from my local 2nd hand bike shop which had a pair of meteor lite forks, for a fiver! Theyre in pretty good nick and most importantly, not bent! Saves me having to find some Haro forks - I wanna do this resto as cheap as poss - dont care about finding original parts!
