Title: Finished build number 2 - bar the chain!!
Post by: Frosty on November 06, 2006, 10:08 PM

At last the MRD mini I traded with Roonga is built. My lad Gil loves it :daumenhoch:

I have built the wheels twice for this build, first off with gold suzues thinking I wouldn't get a pair of green and what happened, as soon as I built them the green ones turned up!! So disassembled and re-built.

I'll post other pics and specs in the gallery.

A couple of things I need to ask though, the chrome is not that good on the frame despite it being NOS. Do I get it redone or not? I have a set of decals waiting on the decision. Pedals I have silver, blue or green cages - never made my mind up lmk what you all think?

Chubs,

I know what you mean, I have asked on here before about colours that sew ups came in, but black is all I heard.

The front wheel clearance is about the same as on Bodamus' Race Inc!

Dont normally agree with everyone but that is tasty, blue cages skinny tyres and leave the chrome 99/100 :daumenhoch:

Very Very nice (I love minis)  :smitten:
I would leave as is and only put the blue cages on for show because if your lad is gonna use it they will get scratched

That looks wicked Paul , no surprises Gil likes it !  :4_17_5:

Cages in blue or green , I'd like to see the green on it because they are about the same height as the hubs & may look cool  :daumenhoch:
