Post by: Bananaman on January 23, 2007, 03:25 PM

Right, before you start the pedals are not stayin!!!

I recon I should have a blast at dyin the pads black :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

Can't decide if I should put the new decal set on or leave the scratched ones???

Why polish the chain ring?  They were not polished bitd as standard, which always makes me wonder why they get polished now!

It looks crap, put it in a box and send it to me  :LolLolLolLol:
































Looks very nice  :daumenhoch:

That is very very nice I really like it. I agree don't polish the Chainring and don't dye the Padset.

Looks perfect as it is mate :daumenhoch:

Those drop outs look barely touched, was it a NOS set or just well looked after?

Dylon multi purpose dye, someone dyed their nylon Torker pads from yellow to black and they came up OK :daumenhoch:

Very well looked after mate, nothing on it was hard worn ( just need a cyclepro snake belly to replace the one used for skidding, the front is mint :daumenhoch:) the cranks and frame set came up really well with little effort :4_17_5:
