Post by: gt0733 on December 31, 2006, 05:34 AM: i think the purple looks great, a pleasant change from black.
that lad that owns the pink one earlier, is either really fast or can fight :2funny:.......................it's, um, different :bondage:
Title: Re: purple is the new black
Post by: snav69 on December 31, 2006, 04:01 PM: Purple looks cool , I have these in purple. Sun - U.S.A rims with 10mm suzue sealed hubs . I had them respoked about 6 months ago and paid for stainless spokes but the rear has started to tarnish in places >:( the front is perfect. I think the bike shop done me on the rear :tickedoff: :2gunsfiring_v1: :2gunsfiring_v1: :LolLolLolLol:

I doubt i will ever use them as i don't think purple would look good on an old school ride , thats just my opinion :daumenhoch:

Post by: pickle on December 31, 2006, 07:51 PM: so are you looking to get shot of em then?
Title: Re: purple is the new black
Post by: snav69 on December 31, 2006, 08:04 PM: Dunno , I aint got a clue how much they are worth cash or trade to tell you the truth , they have a couple of marks on them but nothing tragic and they spin forever :daumenhoch: . I didn't know you were needing wheels , i just posted them cause they are purple lol .

Paul :coolsmiley:
Title: Re: purple is the new black
Post by: pickle on January 02, 2007, 08:52 AM: I wasn't really looking for wheels, as i've got some black aero copy rims i'm going to get biult up for it.......but i still need to buy the hubs and spokes, then get them built!

So if you did want to get rid of them (as you say you'll never use them??) let me know a price mate :daumenhoch:

I can throw in the aero copies as well if you like??

Cheers mate :)
Title: Re: purple is the new black
Post by: snav69 on January 03, 2007, 11:48 PM: Hi Pickle, I don't really need anymore wheels mate but i put up a thread in the tech and restoration forum called "advice needed" to see if they were worth a trade for these cranks , what do you think :-\
these are the cranks http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=25868.0 if they are still available
