Title: My 1st Build( skyways or ukais?)
Post by: jj46 on November 21, 2006, 11:09 PM
Well heres a couple of pics of my first build,85 master frame and forks that i bought from mivvi :daumenhoch:
still needs pedals and finishing off but wondered what you guys think, i;m well chuffed with it but i'm not sure about the seatpost, may swap it for a chrome gt if anyone can help, also thinking black pedals and a blue chainwheel.
Even though i like the wheels i've bought some white tuffs so may change them, anyhow opinions welcome

Thats where my 86  ;D

I think you just need to lower that seat post a bit & see what it looks like, but looks good & would still look good with Tuff's  :daumenhoch:

Cheers, id seen your 86 and that made me decide the ukais would look ok,but the skyways may yet make an appearance, they should arrive tomorrow,i just like the clean look of it but im undecided on the white post, really want  to change the seat for a white kashi aero and i think a blue chainwheel will finish it, then i will tighten the chain.
As for seat height, i agree it should be lowered but i put it like that cos i'm 6 4" and if its to low i'll look a right twat if i ride it LOL

Post by: radders on November 23, 2006, 05:25 PM
Looks sweet. I think I'd go for the chrome post though, that would finish it off perfectly.

I have too admit I prefer the alloys, it's nice to stop when you want.  Not 100 yards past it!!!

Post by: Del on November 24, 2006, 10:33 PM
Tuffs!!!! nice build
Title: Re: My 1st Build( skyways or ukais?)
Post by: Holmetech on November 26, 2006, 02:42 PM
Tuff's everytime for me.
Nearly all my old school bikes have tuffs on them.  ;)
I dont need credit cards anymore because tuffs are my flexible friends.  :LolLolLolLol:
Title: Re: My 1st Build( skyways or ukais?)
Post by: kusam on November 26, 2006, 06:46 PM
Go with the Tuffs...both of you.

P.S.  Fuzzywig...where did you get your orange brakes from? and are they for sale if you decide to swap to blue or green ones :)  :angel:

Nice bikes  :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: My 1st Build( skyways or ukais?)
Post by: fuzzywig on November 26, 2006, 10:25 PM
The orange brakes were rattle can resto's by me (nicely done mind!),  I found a NOS set of tech 4's and matched the calipers to 'em.  I'd like a nice NOS real set myself.

Post by: selfpreservation on November 26, 2006, 10:31 PM
i love the tuffs but i reckon that spokes were more envigue for a bike of this period , cant you just change them when you feel like it  ???
Title: Re: My 1st Build( skyways or ukais?)
Post by: crusty on November 26, 2006, 10:40 PM

Title: Re: My 1st Build( skyways or ukais?)
Post by: theRuler on November 27, 2006, 11:04 AM

Title: Re: My 1st Build( skyways or ukais?)
Post by: Rombloke on November 27, 2006, 08:13 PM
