Title: started a new build today ,and not sure ?
Post by: trasher on May 16, 2009, 01:40 PM

ok chaps i started a new build today

i decided i didnt want to go the candy red and gold route ,,,so decided a lot of blingy chrome ..

i know its not finished,, and it may look like i imagined when it is ,,,but what im undecided on is the red seat and grips ,,,im kind of swaying
towards black seat ,maybe an elina lightening bolt and black grips ,to go with the tyres

what do you reckon

or should i just carry on with what i had planned ,,,,,,i still need to buy parts and dont want to buy twice  :uglystupid2:

and a big thanks to gashead for my blingy wheels  :smitten:

Looks good, think you are right about the grips and seat, black might look better  :daumenhoch:  I'd also go for ACS Z's, Skyways or Araya 7W's (Aeros) to keep the freestyle thang going  ;) .

Black seta (Elina LB would be good, you're right)  and black grips. move the bars foward though..

and I think black Z's, not Tuffs. Tuffs have a chunky look and the quad frame is quite delicate looking, imho..

Good work so far though, just a few tweaks and she's a good-un
