Title: 85 Vector Mark 2 *Finished â€“ The second coming is complete!*
Post by: Bfellows on January 17, 2015, 04:26 PM: I have a bit of a love hate relationship with this one. Due to its ability to severely empty my wallet Iâ€™ve decided Iâ€™m going to call it Debbie and get married to it. Usual thanks to SBD for the lovely paint job and special thanks to Phil Sawzall for resurrecting it after I lost hope...... (See thread below)

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,178888.msg1796234.html#msg1796234

In homage to its wallet emptying ability I decided to send it ghetto pimp - No red, no tuffs........ Frame, forks, and bars for sale shortly.

Post by: Gnarlyscoots on January 17, 2015, 08:07 PM: Very very nice is that Bert :4_17_5: Great colourway and parts selection buddy.

I am with Sam on the bars though. They may be correct or sought after in some circles but, for me anyway, not my bag :-\

I know what you mean........ different to say the least. I did think of putting the Gallindos on, but it would just ended up being the Phaze 1 all over again.......

Funnily enough when i asked Del for a set of standard decals he said he didn't have them....... Ended up getting a set of ebay in the end.

Post by: Jaan on January 18, 2015, 03:30 PM: Looks great Bert. Quite like the Vector bars myself, its just the fixed rake which i feel lets Vector bars down, well those with an integrated stem - more a design than aesthetic fault.

Prefer my CW build but I think you've trumped me with this one bud :daumenhoch:
