Title: Quadangle Rebuild ... I Can't Decide
Post by: Steve P on December 22, 2006, 05:32 PM: I'm thinking about stripping my banana Quad and getting the F+F refinished in candy blue but I can't decide :-\

I'll be using all the original gold parts and changing the wheels, tyres, seat, grips and pads to the following:

1. Yellow Tuffs - Gold Ukai
2. Yellow Kashi MX - Blue Kashi Aero
3. Yellow Sharp 1:11 (changed since photo) - Blue A'me Rounds
4. Black pads - Camo
5. Comp ST's - Comp III's

I'll be changing the 1-piece crank to Flights and fitting my chrome Power Wing bars instead

What do you reckon ... shall I leave it or change it ??

Cheers

Steve

Yellow was a factory colour for those and there aren't many out there.

Why be the same as everyone else and do blue?
