Post by: Del on July 12, 2009, 12:12 PM: like i said before Neil, i recon black ukais, and agree with paul, 3pc all the way... sell the 1pcand get one... actually I may have a 3pc crank or 2 in the loft, let me go look... i may do a deal with the 1pc with you perhaps?

Post by: southern andy on July 12, 2009, 04:26 PM: Black Ukai's for that i reckon.
Title: Re: SE QUAD RETRO
Post by: Mattdub on July 12, 2009, 04:55 PM: I'd go black Ukais , if you were to use the Arayas I'd go silver or blue hubs .

Title: Re: SE QUAD RETRO
Post by: sparky on July 13, 2009, 04:04 PM: Neil, coming along nicely fella but I think the Blue wheels introduce another colour whereas the Black UKAI's matched better. If the forks get recoloured then I'd go for the Araya's. :daumenhoch:

Post by: gadd on July 13, 2009, 06:36 PM: Black to match that stem, looking the dogs
Title: Re: SE QUAD RETRO
Post by: Del on July 13, 2009, 08:54 PM: prefered the black rims. Like mark said, the blue rims bring in another blue so now you have baby blue,mid blue, black and white.. how about you paint the rims baby blue ;) now there's something you havent thought of eh Neil? or have you? ;D

EDIT... actually just paint the LG forks mid blue! sorted!

Post by: moanjam on July 13, 2009, 08:58 PM: just start another bike mate :D

Post by: NORTY40 on July 13, 2009, 09:12 PM: I'm with Sparky and Del on this one :daumenhoch:

Change the colour of the forks to a darker Blue then everything ties in ;)

but hey WTF do i know :-[

Im sure in the end it will turn out right :coolsmiley:

Post by: Glynnyboy on July 14, 2009, 04:19 PM: Just seen this and i agree with del and sparky. When del has done you the new decals it will make the blue's work better together. It looks nice and fresh but still has an edge to it. :daumenhoch: :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley:
