Hmm, sorry but I think its better in the first pic. All it needed there was a Dominator seat and possibly a layback and it would be have nice and subtle.  :daumenhoch:

Really like that fella, looks nice and fresh. like the second pic with the white wall tyres too.
White seat clamp brakes and stem next?
Good job.

I like both pics, but for me it's got green and blue decals so a splash of either colour woud do it. Paul (Harorider) did one of these a few years ago and it was fookin' awesome with green Tuffs :coolsmiley:

I agree, either wheels would look great, but maybe change some of the parts like grips, seat, stem to blue instead of trying to match the wheels.  Looks good though!  :daumenhoch:

I really like that, but if my opinon was voiced - you need to loose the black.

Tan walls, Blue or green stem, copy this with the seat clamp and brakes and then I reackon it would be super lush!

im trying to find out the seatclamp size to get a new one i did buy a white and blue re-issue dia-compe one's but they were too small..
so that was due to be changed..
got some xposure dave's that could go on there aswell..instead of the whitewalls..
the daves will go on there if i decide to sell it..
looking out for a new stem at the moment and i have 1 odyssey evo2 in white  :LolLolLolLol: that could go on there just waiting for funds to buy the second one..

firstly tho need to find out the seatpost clamp size..
cheers for the comments...Paul.. :daumenhoch:

Great news...my wife has just had a letter from the hospital,and for the 10th year
The cancer has not returned,so that's it now,no more mammograms every year
Well until she's 50 anyway..so I'm gonna put this up for sale hopefully by the end of the week
As I'd like to buy her something real nice to celebrate her results..its been a hard time for her
Well all of us really..
She saw a nice Gucci watch at the weekend was £540,so goona try and sell this
And treat her too it..
The price is probably gonna be £450 posted as in the first picture but with xposure
Daves..or as the finished product about £550.these are just rough prices.
What do you think?
