Been tinkering again, put the pedals on the right spindles :-[ and some nos SE Powerwings (cheers Pete :daumenhoch:) Tried a red seat clamp but I thought it looked odd.

Post by: double chevron on June 14, 2012, 03:03 PM: Nice swap, you need to swap the DX axles though ;)

Post by: stevochb on June 14, 2012, 03:13 PM: I know what your saying about the forks and bars glen :daumenhoch:

Cheers Dave. The bear traps are on another bike mate so keeping them sorry as for the bars they wont be cheap mate. Only seen 2 pair come up for sale in the last few years and they went for a few quid.

Matt I will let you know if Dave dont want them :daumenhoch:

Cheers mate :daumenhoch:Im not sure what you are getting at about the DX axels though ???

Post by: double chevron on June 14, 2012, 03:24 PM: You have a left body on the right axle and vice versa, if that makes sense

They should look like this:

Cheers :daumenhoch:

I think i will be looking for some chrome powerwings, the white is a bit to much ;) I tried a red Dc clamp but it looked odd, might have been just the style of it though
