Im sure the anals will correct me.

looks stunning Wardy
Can we stop calling him "Carl", its a crap name and "Carls" dont get to own bikes like that ;)
-
No.
Im out as Duncan Ballintyne says. :LolLolLolLol:
You need NOS black tuffs on that bike >:D
-
looks luvverly >:D
-
Nope don`t like it :(
Sorry Carl but the only Skyways for a Changa are Graphites, it`s a race bike and nobody raced with Tuffs bitd unless they were graphites, plus your Profiles would look better than flights too, Profiles are the best old school cranks imo and you`ve got one of the nicest sets I`ve ever seen.
Sorry :(

so every changa that was made was raced , none were on the street done as peeps wanted em to look like , I aint done it to look as it "Should be" they bore me like that , done it as I wanted , it aint gonna please everyone Bill but I aint built it for everyone , built it for me and it will be ridden too , Profiles went a long time ago Bill , wished Id have kept em now , only pieces of metal though :LolLolLolLol: :daumenhoch:

They were a race bike Carl, a very expensive one at that, and thats why I dont think coloured tuffs look right on them, just like you don`t see Tuffs on a Hutch Pro Star, if you did that parts combo on almost any other bike it would look fine, just not on a VDC Changa.
Just my opinion though, please don`t think I`m having a dig or take offence, it`s just it don`t look right to me :yahoo_silent:

jon preece on his VDC , with coloured tuffs on, quite high, at rom, back in the day....
they aint graphites neither :daumenhoch:
-
At first i though OMG! :-\
But looking again its just the pads that are wrong for me and possibly the tyres.
I like the colour instead of the usual black and chrome :)
-
Maybe if the front tyre was a fatty, kind of looks a bit thin and weedy ::)
Love those red tuffs 8)

I agree I would loose the red pads & put black on it ???
-
Stunning, one of my fave bikes bitd, looks the bollox Carl :4_17_5:
-
Nice to see a bit of color :daumenhoch:
Diggin' those french tyres and the O'wings !
-
I had white tuffs and VDC freestyle bars on my Changa back in the day I have still got the bars, nothing wrong with tuffs on a changa
-
Lets face it when you were kids you put anything on the bikes. I used to see tuffs on everything. My mates Leary had tuffs! :2funny:
Unless you were proffesionally in the sport then you wouldnt use tuffs on a race bike and you probably wouldnt run spokes apart from zeds on a freestyle bike.
Saying that though Eddie fiola ran skinnies on his performer at KOS 85. :shocked:
A Skyway TA was a bike that would look good with both on though. :smitten:
I think the VDC looks more freestyle anyway. The tuffs look the mutts nuts.
-
agree with above.
i was always told if you aint got nowt to say nice dont fooking say it ???
-
Yeah, what he said. Everyone's a critic ::) Looks coolio IMO. Unorthodox, maybe, but cool all the same. :4_17_5:
-
Go on Dave! :4_17_5: :4_17_5:
Good to see you back on here posting regular.
Like i said again....anything went bitd.
Neon coloured tuffs for fooks sake says it all! :D
-
its just a line of chrome changa's with black parts and spoked wheels all in a line do nothing for me.
thats why everyone has got there own way of a build.
dont mean its wrong
-
Like it with a different colourway :daumenhoch: , would go black pads though .
-
Very Nice Changa, Very Different! :smitten:
-
Looking cool fella 8) did ya dye the tuffs ?
