Title: My Mid/Late 90's MCS Is nearly ready!!
Post by: pickle on April 20, 2007, 03:41 PM: All it needs now is some better pedals (i just nicked these of my new DK) and i've gotta get some new bearings and cone nuts for the wheels as they're knackered. bung the plate and chain on and she's ready to race at a track near you!! :daumenhoch: Excuse the photo quality, it's on my phone and in my dreary office :-\

Huge THANKS!!! to Nick (Gashead) for the tyres!! he just sent them to me out the goodness of his heart! :daumenhoch:

Post by: pickle on April 20, 2007, 07:04 PM: Thanks guys.......Stodgy, the bars are Ron C bars which were made by MCS as he co owned it at the time......quite rare i'm led to believe??

Zed........by all means mate, you can have as many goes as you want! :daumenhoch:

Nick......Thanks again mate! you came up trumps! they look the dogs!

Marty.....They're pretty cheapo wheels actually, I picked them on off here for £25 posted, they just need a good clean up and new bearings, looking at the rims they have an Alex look to them...and the hubs are GT. I'll maybe get some bettre wheels eventually but these will do for now! :daumenhoch:

Mr Stylie......I managed to pick the plate up from Rory on here, he bought it off Generallee (i just missed it) but when i told him what i wanted to put it on he kindly agreed to sell it me) i got him another one but in green :daumenhoch:
