Title: Diamond back Silver streak build.
Post by: GREMLIN on September 13, 2006, 03:34 PM

Finished this one too quickly this time. Gotta learn to slow down a bit  ;D
Built up for thrashing about on. One day it will be put back to original spec, as i've most of the original parts for it now too.

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/f376/greml1n/Streak.jpg)

I polished up the top of the original stem, fitted a set of D.b pro bars, An Sr 3 piece Silver streak crankset, 42t Sugino chainring, Pair of new Khe stimulatorz (graphites) pedals, then added a set of chrome rims, with 48 spokes (for strength when arsing about). Tioga comp III's (2.125, 1.75)  Dia compe 1000 copies (for now), Kashi mx saddle, Odyssey lay back seat post, Tuff neck copy seat post clamp. That's about it really.   What do you think?     Gav.  :daumenhoch:

The red cranks set against all the chrome & black works very well, far more interesting than if they were just black or silver.
Black cable outers and black grips (or maybe even red grips) would set them off even more.

Nice bike, I like it.

I like that kashimax too, been after one myself..
