Title: Need your opinion's on tyre colour's
Post by: Chromo Buzz on February 10, 2012, 11:43 PM: As the title say's.......these are going on my dayglo orange 85 Master. The main colour scheme of the bike is orange/red with chrome bars,seatpost & crank. I'm leaning towards the orange tyre's, but would like to hear your thoughts :daumenhoch:

Get a pic up with both combos on the bike.

Post by: Chromo Buzz on February 11, 2012, 12:51 PM: I get what you guy's are saying, unfortunately the bike is up in the loft. Took the headset & seat clamp off to strip the faded anno off, have polished them up & now i need to get them re-anno'ed.

It's a bit of a slow build, not much done in the last year, i did have red OGK's with the red tyre's on it but thought there was too much red going on :D
So my direction now is to put the yellow tuffs on with some yellow brake cable's ::)
Here's the last pic off the bike built up(just experimenting with the white tuffs)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/zz80/buzzer1971/orangemaster010.jpg)

Cheer's Buz :daumenhoch:

Post by: hunterdubber on February 12, 2012, 11:31 AM: 4 colours is a bit much (particularly when non are neutral )

Orange tyres IMO and swap the red bits for white or blue , taking it down to 3 colours on the bike

Then it will look 8) X100 , like the idea of a orange Haro ;)
