Post by: Retrodan72 on January 30, 2013, 04:31 PM: Wez, some nice parts there, but personally I'd swap the tyres even if you spend a tenner on done cheap comp III copies. I'd lose the layback for a straight post too, and a 44t chainring is needed to look better with the spider.

Other than that it's great. This is only my personal opinion mind, tell me to fcuk if you wish. :daumenhoch:
