Gary hi mate, looks the nuts. If they were Alloy hubbed then i'd say yes keep the tuffs on there, but the spokes do look better IMO.

Nice one!

i think tuffs but not with white tyres. unless you have other tyres, use the rims.

Tuffs I reckon but with Red Comp III's to match the Red Seat and Red Grips.

Ukai's all the way...

Get the red grips and red chain on and leave the UKAI's on!  Dont start changing too much and messing around or you'll never be happy with her.  I know, done it myself!  :D

First of all, thats a nice bike. Secondly, I always prefer tuffs, but in this case I think the Ukais look better there.
Just to throw a spanner in the works, how about red tuffs on it ??
Here is one I done a while ago, slightly different colours though..

Nice bike that Shaun  ;)  - I'm with you on this one, red ukais over the white tuffs, but, red tuffs would be perfection  :daumenhoch:
