Title: Oh what have I done now.! A step too far
Post by: Jaymz on June 06, 2015, 09:53 PM
Having robbed from Peter to pay Paul I have a lovely looking haro sport. But old faithful was saddleless. Having no luck in trading my white or yellow seat (or any other combination of my parts) for a blue one. And I can't stand having incomplete bikes to look at in the den. I started to play. And not even I'm sure about this. My odd tuffs has always divided people's opinions. But I think I've gone too far now

that was my thinking. You know swapping parts with your mates etc. I've even seen a survivor somewhere very much like this. But I'm not convinced. I like oddness and something a little different or odd ball with my builds. My sport has a great oddball touch that no one has even spotted or mentioned which has surprised me. But I think this time I've gone too far with the oddball ideas

cheers andy. That's the look I love but I'm not convinced. Although two posture comments to get the thread started is good

Think almost every lad round our way had odd wheels. Usually a spoke and a mag but sometimes an OGK and a skyway. No different to panini stickers or those chose your own adventure books, we were always doing swaps. Fookin loved freeway fighter, proper mad max in paperback  :daumenhoch:

No-one's really going to see much of the yellow when you're riding anyway! Unless of course you're standing or doing bar-spins! :daumenhoch:
