Title: My Quadangle build dilemma.........
Post by: Bfellows on April 05, 2014, 04:20 PM
OK, so I thought I'd build the Quadangle before it goes for SE blue powder just to check fit etc..........  not your traditional build I suppose, but its the sort of daft thing I'd have built with my paper round money 30 years ago.  I love Quads, but can't stand the freestyle frame set.  Needs a tuf neck chain ring and a front MX900, but other than that I'm quite happy with things.

My dilemma is I quite like it in orange..........  Blue or Orange - what you reckon?

Steve had a Baby blue Quad and they are just as cool. Only a true Fred Blood frame should be orange I reckon.

Agreed with the Fred Blood quote,  do like this one though but both blues look smashing on a Quad.

Keep that one Orange and just buy another and do it Blue  :D

Orange is cool because it's something different from the norm but i guess when Adam post's a pic up of that Candy Blue one it throws another spanner in the works . Im doing my loopy ripper Baby Blue but only because that was my dream bike from bitd .

Yep, my dream bike bitd was a baby blue loopy ripper....... Which is why I'm building a burnished one with chrome forks.......  ;D it's too good to powder!

The simple answer is this. Get one of each colour for both PK and Quads,  ohh and Flovals and OM's  :D problem solved  :daumenhoch:
