Title: Superstar Carlton
Post by: paulb113 on February 21, 2015, 11:01 AM: It's pretty much finished now:D

May get softer grips, red sprocket and chain.(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/21/d13d9f46e17fadc138617822d8aad9aa.jpg)

Post by: pickle on February 21, 2015, 07:00 PM: Looks ace!! I'd change the stem for black instead :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Superstar Carlton
Post by: paulb113 on February 21, 2015, 07:23 PM: Its a great stem and got it cheap off Andy DTTDB, so I got a seat with red on it and grip ends. I know it doesn't fully match but its been done on the cheap :LolLolLolLol:

Will just keep swapping and changing as I go on, would like freecoaster and chrome rims at some point.

I just put white gyro cables on but same again was a good lower cable on offer so may change to black when I get round to it

Red sprocket I can understand,But please don't put a red chain on it.
Don't know why, But I have this thing about coloured chains.
Where's Griff with his computer crayons? Griff please wax on a red line for a chain so we can see how it would look.

Just got new sprocket, grips, chains and small gusset link so hopefully can get it all together later :daumenhoch:

Got a bargain, sprocket and grips big discount down to Â£17, card machine not working there so they let me have them both for a tenner :daumenhoch:

Red grips, or stick with black grips with red bar ends?

New bars, not sure if they will match but they are Superstar sweet sweep bars in Matt mouse 8.3" and 28.5 wide. Still may end up cutting the chrome ones down but the new ones were only Â£9.99 so will go on something else if they don't look ok:LolLolLolLol:
