Post by: Wez on January 22, 2013, 04:07 PM

Thanks to Brakedancer for the frame and forks ;)

First build with my old UPS brown Styler parts to see what it would look like...Bit loud in hindsight..

1983 Tange Cromo Looptail frame lightly powdered Smoke which faintly looks brown with Tange TX1200 forks
Powdered Brown Raleigh Styler twin top Bars
Gold Suntour powerstem
Tioga Beartrap Headset
Gold Tange LP440 locknut
NOS SR gold Fluted Seatpost
NOS Aeroyal Seat in Yellow not repro
Polished SR seat clamp
Tioga Beartrap BB
Tioga Spider
Tioga OPC
Gold Sugino 40t Chainwheel
SR custom M pedals tinned yellow
Chang Star Gold 890 rep calipers with gold Tech3 levers
Skyway Yellow grips
DID chain in bronze
Alloy hubbed Skyway Tuff2's in yellow stamped rims
Techno Yellow Snake bellys
Gold Grenades
Red Nylon Raleigh Frame Pad
Looking to improve on the brake setup, tyres and maybe the skys for the 7X's...
