Post by: mr.magoo on January 26, 2009, 03:03 PM
for those that don't frequent the technical section....needed a little pick me up, after some lack lustre performances (blinking knee)
so wanted to make some changes to my bike, but short on cash...any hows heres what i've done...love it? / hate it?

me i love it....just need to get some chrome cranks onto it, and a half way decent wheelset then i'll be pleased.

problem is hayes is a regional, so need to stick to o/s, but the bay, i kow is too long for my knee to keep going the whole day, and cruiser runs smoother when i have to scoot it :LolLolLolLol:

extremepervert mite have a old superclass plate you can have
Title: Re: found the love for old school again
Post by: mr.magoo on January 26, 2009, 06:28 PM
i already have a yellow flow panel, and until i started back and the number come off on the A2, that showed a No 1 too!

But andy...pink plates...make me an offer, my three year old daughter has a picture of me and her in a flying pink elephant at a fun fair, that i promised i'd see if Big Daddy could make into a plate for me when i got some spare cash...

i don't hang onto the past, just a plate....that used to say #1, SE,FF,BB,HBF in 15Z, but had to put the 7 on, as already an official #1 knocking about :D

I like that much better than the purple it was before, it's a different bike. It looks mint !

Nice one  :daumenhoch:

I don't like the sound of all that mud at Hayes, but at least the chrome will be easy to clean. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh (and mud).
