good first build.

Post by: dannywhiteley on April 09, 2009, 05:48 PM: Very nice that mate. Couple of things I would change...

Gum wall white tyres to break up the white a bit.
Change pedals for something older school
Change grips for something older school

And the guts to the seat look like they are fiited wrong.

I was gonna suggest swapping for a white seatpost but you beat me to it. :)

But other than that, its mint. Cant beat a white TA.

as for your seat guts a quite famous chap by the name of Glyn Lewis had his that way around on a DP Freestyler. :daumenhoch:
if it's okay for him, then it's okay for you, but I see you;ve now changed them, and it does look better.

ye i agree the tyres and i,m getting round to it.anything you can recommened chaps ?
Title: Re: MY FIRST BUILD SINCE THE 80'S
Post by: JT71 on April 30, 2009, 02:15 PM: try and get some red panaracer or haro freestyle tyres with a gum wall.

would look nice, break the white up a bit and cost a lot less than old school white freestyle tyres.

:daumenhoch:

Post by: Brandy Truffle on April 30, 2009, 04:35 PM: Be nice to see a photo of it in the snow next winter ;D

You'd never find it :LolLolLolLol:

Couple things I would change colour wise if it were me, but thats just personal taste. The all whiters tyres take your focus away from the the awesome f+f in my opinion.

I struggled with that on a previous build, wasn't quite happy until someone here used that exact same comment & showed me the light.

The TA is such an iconic 80's old schooler it screams out to be kept as "era correct" as possible & the purists will always have a squint when they see N/S parts adorning a TA build. Now it's finally built tweaking it can be just as much fun.

Either way, it looks great, you're obviously over the moon and its a TA = Job Done :daumenhoch:
