Post by: skaterpostie on September 08, 2008, 08:31 PM

you may recall my bootsale diamond back post i put up a few weeks ago,anyways cleaned her up ,new decals are on,but cant decide wheather to ditch the original arayas in favour of black skyways,spokes on the arayas are well rusted.dont know if theres any way of saving them,other than gettin them respoked?also was gonna change tyres to comp 3s but the original db tyres have cleaned up well,with good tread left on them,any thoughts would be  appriciated :)
