Title: Too much white? opinions needed please :)
Post by: oldschoolace on May 10, 2013, 01:27 PM: Just stripped the tired looking oddy pitbull for my new build and wondering whether to paint it white as i originally intended or just to give it a light polish?

It going on chrome freestyle forks with white pegs, white frequency g tyres and white mags. The frame is half chrome half white.

painting them would be a bit of a fiddle with the roller bearings etc to think of but polishing them may not look as clean as i dont go for thst whole over polished look and would only be giving them a soft shine.

what do you lot recon? :-\

The intended build for reference

Those hubs look like YO! in the picture and the stem is a 55 slant with pro rotor. Nice one for sale at the moment on the Museum.

I'm assuming this is a Freeform Pro 'rip off'? Looks cool though mate and I'm sure you will do it justice :coolsmiley:

The bars, frame and fork ;) along with the newly straightened seatpost, rotor, rear brakes and cranks will all be done stock :daumenhoch:
