Title: Its done at last (1983 TA inside) - pic heavy
Post by: dannywhiteley on April 15, 2009, 10:57 AM

It started here using mainly the parts that came with it, but cleaned up to a reasonable level.  I wasnt happy...

Phase 2, swapped out a few parts but still didnt like it...

Thanks for the kind words guys... ;)

Loving this build, its the kind of bike I wouldve absolutely killed for 20 years ago, but would no doubt have ended up getting nicked by one of the older lads off the nearby estate.

That final version is sorted, very tasty :4_17_5:

I have a geeky question re the stem pad: What's the correct way around, to have the 'Skyway Skyway Designs' logo facing you or away from you? Also what's the deal with the twin holes in the stem pad (cables?)

Seems like April is T/A country at the mo on Rad :D

Cheers, you really should have the logo facing forwards as the holes are for cables to run through if thats your bag (and your stem will take the cable through it).  As I have the plate on, the pad logo would be hidden so just decided to spin it round for show. :)

I think there are two holes cos depending on the size/type of stem your using the hole will fall in different places?  May be totally wrong but that makes sense.

Sounds logical enough :)

Gotta admit since acquring a frame/fork set recently (chrome straight bridge) can apprecaite the T/A a lot more than just an iconic symbol from bitd. Not sure whether to post mine up yet (T/A overload???) although have a couple of small bits to arrive so maybe in May.

Cool idea re the calipers btw ;)

Thinking about swapping the blue SX pedals for red ones, what do you reckon?  Would there be too much red?

I also have anothe blue MX1000 on the way.  Should I stick with the red/bluemix I have now or go all blue (that was my original plan).
