Is this same technique as Skyway resto its made of plastic. I don't have dishwasher and don't want to FCUK it up picture enclosed and anyone got another. In picture it looks cleaner than it is for some reason wouldn't mind a set of their pedals too in yellow.(http://x2.putfile.com/10/28612433555.jpg) (http://www.putfile.com)(http://x2.putfile.com/10/28612423731.jpg) (http://www.putfile.com)

Have you been on the banana leaves. Griptape tape for your grips!

griptape as in sticky emery cloth stuck all over the frame

Yeah Scotch 3m griptape like used on skateboard decks but where in the thread does this come in .We started with a plastic fetish. Ian

all the threads on this forum get so derailed we may as well just have one thread to discuss everything!!

At least it guarantees a hot topic. How about lending us this bike to test ma lever.
