i didnt really like it at all at first glance but i can see where you've gone with it under closer inspection, the colours run through the red and blue in the skyway logo and it works :daumenhoch:
just. :)

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, you boys do really look at a build up close!

I had about 40 NOS Tioga innertubes and i flogged the lot on here about 6 months ago. I regret it! However, i dont know where the fook i got those inners from but the blue does go well...... in the flesh!

Thanks for the good feedback guys. It really is nice. I really love this bike as the frame is as it was bitd....but cleaned up a bit. It is truely stunning and i nearly got rid of it not so long ago. Pheeeeew that i didnt. Nearly every TA you see is glammed up as a freestyler these days. I aint complaining about that, but i do think the TA is the only f+f that gets away with a bit of 'both'! I put top parts on this build mixing old and new and unfortunatley i wish i took pics of it in the daylight rather than under the 'lights'.

The decals i got from 'Funmonster' (i think) ....free of charge. I thank you sir!  ;)
