Title: Some updates to my WAL Riot.
Post by: midschooljon on November 07, 2015, 12:03 PM

I have been slowly making changes to all of my bikes over the last year or so and finally got my WAL to a point Im feeling happy with. It used to have a gyro 2 on it, repop tech 77's, and a few other bits that really irritated me. All that stuff is now gone and everything is original ear correct parts. Last weekend I managed to snap a few new pics before the crap weather rolled in...

Thanks! Everything on the bike aside from the levers is used, however today I managed to get some used japan stamped levers so these NOS ones will be coming off shortly.  :daumenhoch:

Decals on the frame have definitely been replaced, but that doesnt make it NOS Ed.  :LolLolLolLol: The bike was ridden for 20 years before I got it. (although I appreciate some people do think new decals or a coat of paint qualify as NOS).  :LolLolLolLol:
