Like i said a few weeks back, i was working on my final build. It was a bike that i always wanted as a kid and probably my favorite build,as sourcing the parts was hard.
I have basically ripped off Jazzchimps bike but i had to!!!! >:D >:D ;) It is a Fiola rep the same as he rode in KOS in 84.
I am waiting on a few bits and bobs from the states which apparently were the correct parts he had. I wont tell you what they are until they arrive! :LolLolLolLol: When they do i will get some more pics up of it finally finished.
Hope you like. A big thanks to Pete Quad for the input, Jazzchimp and JAY. Also to COZ and SBD!!!. ;)
ALL NOS apart from the f+f and tuffs.

You've probably looked into far more than me but was it black pads on kos bike?:daumenhoch:

Bring the bars back an inch or two, looks like your trying to suck yourself off when they're that far forward....dirty boy >:D

Yellow pads. ;) />
You wilh have to wait till they arrive till i let the cat out of the bag. :D
Honest this is the last. May still buy the odd part to improve builds but i have all i want now. ;)
-
Were there black pads on it at some other point? Maybe when it was in the UK I'm thinking of. Aerospeeds too at that time?
-
Cant confirm dates and where he used these parts but he 100% did use Aerospeeds and a black padset. ;)
-
Apparently Fiola also used to take 2 identical bikes to every competition!? ??? :-\
Not sure if every factory rider would have?
-
excellent. lovely rep

Wouldnt be as nice if you didnt paint it. You da man.
-
Lookin' good there ;)
What are yer gonna do with the NOS loopy ripper then ? ( if no more builds ) .
Are the pads NRS not NOS ? :LolLolLolLol:
-
The NOS frames are just hung up never to be built! :buck2:
The pads are repros but ive bought a set in the US that are NOS ....and at silly money. :idiot2: I regret buying them really. People say the repro's are just as good but you try and find yellow pipe lagging! ;D That was the most expensive part of the build. I couldnt show it on here without a padset so thats why its got them on. ;)

Thought the Loopy might be "art" , what's silly money for pads ? ( spent some bucks on some padsets too ! ::) ) .
