Post by: WARDY on September 22, 2007, 09:59 PM: i was looking into getting some laybacks made in aluminium bar. because i can get the 13/16 bar in 5 metre lengths(t6 grade) and cut to length and a firm by me reckon they can bend it., but if they will snap the seat tube as you say dan i think i may well be knocking the laybacks on the head . Cheers Carl :daumenhoch:

Post by: workshyfop on September 23, 2007, 12:40 AM: spokes spokes spokes. still lush as mind. just would look lusher with spokeys. is the profile imp period correct??? thought they were more modern, just curious. sure someone will be along to fill us in soon.
Title: Re: just finished ripper
Post by: WARDY on September 23, 2007, 08:43 AM: the profile imp is not period correct but i liked the look of it , so on it went. Also (thought id get in first) the dual pinch redlines are not but they were in black and i liked the look of them 2 go with the build. :daumenhoch:

Wardy its your bike, era correct or not, you build it how you like. It looks great how it is.

Post by: Dark Diggler on September 23, 2007, 12:23 PM: :4_17_5: Mint that is, I especially like the fact you did it the way you wanted and didn't follow the herd :daumenhoch:

Now get out and ride it, DONT put it on a wall and stand looking at it, it is for riding and having fun on (and looking cool as fukc) and you will have the pleasure of restoring it again in a couple of years :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: just finished ripper
Post by: WARDY on September 23, 2007, 01:52 PM: it will be used i went out on it this morning , finding it a bit uncomfortable with straight seat post . thats why i will always prefer to ride this because of the layback(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/s297/solihullcarl/DSC00163.jpg)
Title: Re: just finished ripper
Post by: OrgasmDonor on September 23, 2007, 03:09 PM: keep the tuff on it dude, likin the whitewalls too, get a pro stem for it rather than a lay back (dk pros are expert length) a dk xl would do the trick :daumenhoch:

Title: Re: just finished ripper
Post by: gossa on September 23, 2007, 08:48 PM: Looks wicked mate, great colour scheme! Are you a tall boy? if not put them bars back a bit, that must steer like a twitchmonkey! I also notcied the bars are a bit high but hey if that works for you!

I'd change the chainring though as sverything else looks quite old school, but the ring stands out a bit.

Wicked mate, very 'king of the skateparks' eh bill stup?
Title: Re: just finished ripper
Post by: WARDY on September 23, 2007, 08:59 PM: bars feel fine 4 arm length. Chainring stays put. :daumenhoch:
