Title: Skyways or Z-Rims...??
Post by: brass monkey! on July 23, 2007, 08:53 PM: Just took delivery of my new NOS Z-Rims, freshly built up from German imported rims, stainless steel spokes and Gold Suzues,

Not sure what to keep on the Trickstar ??? The spare wheels will go on my new baby, my NOS Candy Blue Quadangle.... :)

Opinions please :daumenhoch:

With Graphite Tuffs

With Z's (yes i know the chain is not on and the z's are not on properly, but i was in a rush !)

Why not build two, one with Zs & one with tuffs ;)
