Title: black and white pk ripper with buff z's on finished (well nearly) 2/6/11
Post by: glenboy on May 21, 2011, 09:31 PM: made a start on the white pk i got the other day just a mock up i have been after something to use one of the 2 sets off buff z rims on i have but on all my existing bikes they just didn't look right and with them being a sort of cream ivory colour they are weird to get tyres to look right on , i got the whitewalls the other day with some wheels and as the whitewalls have mellowed with age i thought i'd try em and i like em on , need some bits to finish need a white brake lever ,chainring (not sure on chainring colour i'm thinking black with machine teeth but maybe white or silver , inner tubes ;D need the headset yet as well, its getting a bit crowded in the spare room i really need to stop now ;D :LolLolLolLol:
