i'll slightly reword my post, dave, if you don't have the gear to strip it, no worries,
send it to me as it is and i'll sort it :daumenhoch:

What sort of bike are you having powdered, orange? I had this GT done last year but someone made me a really good offer for it so off it went. I've got a nice Haro Master f+f I'm thinking of having done the same colour. Not a Haro colour by any means but it should look pretty rad all the same. :daumenhoch:

That looks awesome in orange, mines a skyway streetscene (first build) but all the skyways i see are white or green i know black and white is simple but i fancy somthing a bit loud to start with.
Out of interest what tyres were they on the GT do you remember.

Tioga Comp ST tyres, mate. Steve from Skatepool normally has them in stock (but not listed) I think he sold me mine for £35, delivered. Not exactly dirt cheap but really top quality tyres. Another eBay seller Strada 1, (I'm sure that's right) does them as well. :daumenhoch:
