Set of Slambars in black, or the two piece Standard strips. Another would be some 6 piece Standard strip bars or Castillo's.

Set of chrome Profiles, Standard or Redneck stem in black or normal silver. Chris King headset (if you can be arsed to shell out) in black, or an FSA 'The Pig' headset. Primo Hemorrhoid seat, Primo adjustable post in black, black wellgo's, Profile Whippet 44T sprocket (there's loads of sprockets to choose from that'd look good though), AD-990 rear, Tech 77 lever bent (or just get a Dirty Harry). Front wheel - either try and get another Blowfish and rim to match), or front Peregrine SP. All black Primo The Wall tyres. Black Odi Long-neck grips. Black Profile low-profile seat clamp.

Well, that's what I'd go for anyhow, based on the colour of yer forks and the frame  :D

If you're gonna run only a rear brake fella, I'd just go straight cable :)

Maybe pop good old Mr Harris a pm and see if he's got a spare Standard stem, or I do know someone that's got an early 1 1/8" silver gyro friendly Redneck for sale (early cos the fixing bolts go through on the same side, good nick only a couple of small scuffs). Think he wanted around the £20/25 posted for it. It won't be going anywhere soon, so if Dans not got a spare stem let me know.

All chrome in my opinion, once you see this frame you won't want to put any old tat on it! It's amazing.

Is it a metallic flake powder Laz? I've got a '95 STA here that's still got it's original metallic blue powder. Gotta say the colours lovely, and yeah the classic chrome up front look would go well on it  :daumenhoch:

I'm not sure how many coats but it was painstakingly sprayed using really expensive paint with massive flakes by our very own Philbert, then a bunch of lacquer coats too it's an incredible job.
