Title: Changa
Post by: WARDY on March 21, 2008, 05:10 PM
Come to me senses and pulled it off ebay, decided to keep it , so built it back up , with some different parts and now im loving it. No doubt the flight crank brigade and the mx 1000 platoon will have there say  :LolLolLolLol:, but i like it just the way it is now, the 901 s are 84 stamped anyway

I like it, like the 901's - they make a change! Dont mind the 1pc - not affraid to use one myself.  :daumenhoch:

What I dont like is the decals! Sorry. I know they are hard to get hold of but they just dont look right.  ::)

and what I like even less is that its not sat here with my Gorila!  ???

Yep nothing wrong with that :daumenhoch: personally I would change the Stem for a Pro Neck or Hutch and the Seat for a Kashimax MX but that's just me.

Still looks very nice as it is though ;)

 As i told jimwise , i nearly pressed it myself  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:   I had to put another £100 on the f/f and bars on the bay due to them fooking charges, its best to try and cut ebay and paypal out on stuff over a certain value , but there is a bigger market there

Charlies 20'' was far nicer than his cruiser! A white Changa in that get up whould be my choice of build if I could land a Changa without taking out a morgae or doing a bank job! Missed a couple 18 month to a year ago. Both needed work therefore perfect for a paint job.

I have the got reference material  and a few parts for Charlies VDC 20'' and his actual Gorilla F&F and very early CW bars and Pro neck invert stem  :daumenhoch:

One day maybe!
