everything you have got, keep. there spot on.
plastic dx's with studs ground off for proper flatland build of that era
plastic gt seat with front cut off and melted smooth
if you can track down a set of acs rl edge tyres. fookin long shot but would rule
gyro
sbc seatpost
tech 77's
see if del will do another deal with the devil for some era correct downtube stickers.
-
nice chainring! :daumenhoch:
-
Seconded. Everything you have right there :daumenhoch:
-
i think i can get a pair of rl edge tyres :daumenhoch:
i have a black a gt seat ;)
the other bits i think i have except the sbc seatpost, not tried a post yet but think its 25.4
yeah the guy i got it all off sold the graveyard sprocket, but i was lucky as he could get another :)
-
it will be a 25.4
how many rl edge tyrs can you get?
-
Generel Lee had a few pairs of RL edge tyres but I think he sold them all now. The last pair were on here only a few weeks ago and a great price too, but Steve's stuff always is!
-
i think there is only one pair he is willing to let go, but i'll ask for you
haha, steve sold 2 pairs a while back and kept a pair for himself, i dont know why i talked him into keeping them, cause he sold them to someone else a month later DOH !! :-[

yeah tell me, although there is a place in the US that has a few but they are white skinwall and i want black :(
-
for that era you want amber wall. the majority of flatlanders had them that way
-
yeah i mean white tread with amberwall, also i double checked and their ACS true 100 not RL Edges
-
Rob Any progress with the Shorty? i saw you were selling the strip bars. What bars you gonna use on this?
