Post by: QUADROPHENIA on June 26, 2011, 08:06 AM: right i gonna moan, would prefer to see a 1 pc in it rather than a twin pinch, change the pedals for an older set, and bin that nasty seat clamp, thats the sort of tat costa would use, even a nice copy tuf neck would look better. bit of tweeking and it will be sweet :daumenhoch:

Post by: rick1970 on June 29, 2011, 08:00 AM: Thanks for the comments folks :daumenhoch: funnily enough i removed a sugino 84 opc for that RL crank ,well it is a rider as for the seat clamp thats staying put ,gunner change the pedals for red caged in time ,but what i dont like is the fat thin combo on the tyres the front 2.125 or what ever looks fookin quite large thats gotta go :LolLolLolLol:

cheers Rick..

Post by: Spen69 on June 29, 2011, 12:04 PM: Rick, ride it round a track before you bin the front tyre, you might feel more confident with the big rubber up front, even though a thin / thin combo looks better :daumenhoch:

Anyway, that looks an absolute cracker mate, especially the saddle and I like the colour combo :coolsmiley:

I'm with ugly on the comment about the seat-post clamp though bud, try a black one to match your stem and keep the colour scheme going as black and red on chrome is lush :smitten:

Like it a lot bud :daumenhoch:

Post by: Daletsunami on June 29, 2011, 03:25 PM: I know it's all about personal preference but it would look really nice with a straight seatpost in my eyes, Looking really nice though is that :daumenhoch:

Working on a GT Pro myself at the minute, they are a lovely frameset 8)
