Swapped the wheels out for Araya 7xs with Bullseye hubs, swapped the Tech 4s for Tech 3s, swapped the Bullseye cranks for Redline stamped Sugino 400s, and the policed stem for a black ano Tuf Neck Pat Pend.

Hope you like her.

 Very nice!! I've just had a look back at the previous thread and like how the bike's evolved. What was the thinking behind the latest changes?

Mikku, I just wanted to get a bit more black into the bike. Benny over on OzBMX restored the Arayas and then I picked up the stem here last week. I'm still after black oakleys and an OG pad set.   :daumenhoch:

I'll be selling the chrome 7x / Campagnolo Record wheels and the polished stem that were on the bike at some point.

I had to get the bars re-chromed due to a huge flake, so now she's done. (until I find a suitable OG pad set)  :)

I loves a good PK but that's a damn fine piece of PK right there.

It's so shiny it makes the camera halo.

Like the Velcro strips on the brake cable. Be using that one.
