got my new old school racer today, big thanks to dingo :daumenhoch:
i'm gonna change a few bits like the cranks as i'm gonna put profiles on it , pedals and brake lever. i was thinking about changing the wheels aswell and put camo sun city rims on with 1.75 tyres on as the tyres on at the moment are 2.15 fat tyres.
heres a picture of how i got it and the second picture i have changed the front wheel and put a camo sun city wheel on what ya think fellas :-\

Amberwall tyres,all the way :daumenhoch:,go nicely with the pads :)

yeah jaymz they are comp III grips, i have never seen them before and think they look cool :coolsmiley:
-
no, stick to chrome wheels, never liked the camo wheels let alone on an old school bike. the big tyres better for racing too
-
i kinda like the camo wheel. you got a rear too ?.

Looking good
Putting gum walled tyres on makes it look half the weight, much better ;)
-
Chrome looks better than camo IMO ;)
-
Look sweet! get some yellow label repops from Dave......they look and ride great on oldies :daumenhoch:

i bought a pair off dave last year and one of walls on the tyres changed from skinwall to gumwall after about 6 weeks :idiot2:
-
strange? mine have been spot on :daumenhoch:
-
aaww! My baby! Chrome rims for better braking and fat comp 3 for grip especially at MK in flat loose turns
-
camo wheels look cool but chrome ones more cool IMO, amberwalls will set it right off :daumenhoch: 175's all day long for those fast bitchin berm moves :daumenhoch: lovely bike gishy dude, i'm lookin forward to having a go on it :daumenhoch: how mean are those rudd gages :daumenhoch:

ti be honest the chrome rims may look nice but the rear does have a cassette hub so that puts me off them and the camo rims rear wheel does have a flip flop hub which then swings it in the camo rims favour :daumenhoch:

aaww! My baby! Chrome rims for better braking and fat comp 3 for grip especially at MK in flat loose turns
and certain death for the rider if it rains ;D
-
I am going to be dead honest regarding those cammo rims on that bike, Gish..thems Gash.
The cammo looks great on a N/S ride but not on that...sorry :-\
Love it with chrome rims but as Bren says, bit like using an mx1000 when it rains...fookin useless :LolLolLolLol:
Sorry again
-
looks a nice ride.
want me to test it on some doubles for ya
-
Baby blue Ripper ,,, nice racer Gishy :coolsmiley:

A pair of amberwalls and maybe a chainring /powerdisc set up to make it look a bit more Ol' school :daumenhoch:
What's it ride like then ::) ;) ?

had the bike out tonight chris and it rides lovely :smitten:
it seems to ride faster than the challenger (or is that just me) :idiot2: and also the front end seems easier to pull up aswell :daumenhoch:
all in all its gonna be hard to hang the bike up on race day and get the challenger out cos it just rides like a dream :smitten: :smitten:
-

Glad to hear it's rides awesome Gishy :daumenhoch:
If it feels better than the Challenger , why not ride it instead ? ???
You know full well Daz rides a different bike every series , sometimes a couple different per series :)
and Maddogg rides a different one every meet ,, or is it moto :D
