I'm not constructing a Kylie stunt arse but a couple of things for my build have got me a bit bummed out :-\
1) It's a decent survivor frame but should I apply a NOS decal set or repro?
2) Got a DX post for it with wrong colour graphics (screen printed I think) should I remove them to apply the right colour decals?
3) Besides Kylie's arse does it's own stunts: >:D

nos decals
trade the post for the right colour
nice ar$e
-
Problem is there's no decals on it at the moment. I bought repros for it then scored the NOS set.
As far as survivors go, it's a pretty nice one but I'm using NOS / restored & survivor parts on it.
I've got some decals coming for the post but I didn't realize the original was printed till I had a good look at it...
maybe the decals could be fitted over the print? Could look dodgy though.
I might see if I can trade it... :-\
-
If it's a survivor I wouldn't use any NOS parts I would only use decent used parts and definately the original decals and not the repros.

I think I just need to stop being an arse and carry on building it as nice as I can get it ::)
I think Dave nailed it - NOS decals and trade the post (I might try the decals over the top first though).
:D ;D

Did someone mention Anal ? :-*

He did mention NOS too ;)

use the repro decals and keep the NOS set in case you ever want to do a full resto.
Trade the seat post.
:daumenhoch:

Too late now, NOS decals are on 8)
It is tidy tbh but I like the fact it's OG chrome and it's seen a bit of action.
Just the seat-tube decal to go and it's lunch :)

Good man Paul 8)
I'm sure a few people have stuck the DX post decals over the original print , what colour is the original and what colour are you planning on putting on top ? could show through or make the decal a different shade :-\

You gays ;D

It's red but I need blue. So what would Anal NOS mean...

Good on ya for not rechroming the fu*ker.
Depending on the condition, rechroming can be as bad as drilling a Heart.
-
Thanks man :daumenhoch:
The chrome is decent but i'll get some better shots when it's all together ;)
Here's a pic before I got the decals on and a few of the parts fitted.

Going to be a looker that Paul 8)
That Task force stem looks nice in Blue :smitten:
-
Thanks Joff, I'm completely in love with this frame :D
I think it has to be one of the most elegant OS race framesets out there.
The Taskforce stem has the original finish but it's still in pretty good shape and I managed to get hold of a NOS replacement set of chromed SR bolts for it.
As you know these were SR made and have the same base as the Aero-X M stems.
They're quite hard to find though ;)

It is a nice looking frameset , chrome looks mint aswell 8)
I did have one of those stems myself , can't remember who i sold it to ............... I know it went to a good home though ;) :D
Looking forward to seeing it built up Paul .

Wanted to get some pics done today but I've just been asked to stay on at work >:(
Promised the misses a bike to roll around on at MK so she'll have to have this one.
It's not going to be easy to hand it over :-\ :idiot2:
-
Thats really nice!!! There was one on the Cleethorpes cruise. :4_17_5: :daumenhoch:
Dare I ask if the fork decals are upside down? :-[
-
Very nice that Paul 8)

Looking mighty fine Paul. :smitten:
Make sure she doesn't fall off as I want the frame, forks & bars!!!!!! ;D
-
Thanks lads. I took it out and got some decent pics done. Had a bit of a mare tho...
and the decal is upside down :-[ ::)
Two lessons learned the hard way...
I've got a spare nos decal but unfortunately I don't have a spare DX pedal.
I'll put up a build thread in a sec :(

Looks lovely that Paul :smitten:
Hopefully I will get to see this on Sunday ;)
