My pink Trickstar build is nearly complete, just wondering about what grips to put on it. Do I go for the traditional A'ME pink round grips or throw caution to the wind with a cheeky new school Big cheese grip????? I'll add some pics to the powdercoat section as Superbikedan did the pink and a damn fine job the big fella did!!!

big cheese.
but then im not really a traditionalist.
they would look cool.
-
The big cheese would look very 'Hutch'...
but I'd go the A'me route as they are more 'correct'...
but it's your bike, you choose.
-
Big Cheese might look better but they are a cheap shite company with no ties to, or roots in, BMX.
....for that reason i'd go for the A'mes.
:)

what about the pink shrooms currently ob the bay :angel:
-
I had a chance of getting some pink and white Unitrons a while ago but they were £100 and call me old fashioned but thats too much for grips! I'll check out the mushrooms on the bay...
-
lol..this thread sums up in a nutshell the variety of builders on rad.....
-
And there are still here some people who do not want to pay £100 for some grips.... ::)

here's my Pink Trickstar......put some black on it, but it will be changed as I am not sure if the contrast works
your colour combo will look very cool mate, i'd stick with the pink a'mes IMO !! :daumenhoch:

I was watching them, $300 was my max. I have a NOS in the box set but can't bear to powdercoat them. They are going on my chrome Trickstar when I rob a bank next!!!

-
hmmmmm. The two auctions are different, do you think the ones I have bought are mini as well? :(
Looks like I've ended up with mini grips then as they both you in that Big Mac box.........................!!
-
looks like :( they should still fit just not be as wide :daumenhoch:
-
Looks like mark (69er) made the same mistake thinking they were full size and sold them on :(

Oh well, at least it was only £15! Stick 'em in a drawer and hope minis are the in thing for new school rides in 10 years!!

I think you colour combo will work fine if you just keep the seat tyres/wheels and grips black and replace the rest of the black with chrome/polished (just my opinion). :daumenhoch:
-
i would go for some white ame's to bring out the white decals and crank arms,
just my 2ps worth, and as for the £100 grips please i know pricesare rocketing but thats just tking the piss :-[
-
That's gonna look real nice when complete ... keep the pics coming :daumenhoch:
I want a pink one to go with my Shot Gun II
