Just finished this TA and vowed it to be my last build!!! We've all said that at some time or other I imagine!?! :D
When I first joined Rad I fell in love with a build Munners had in the Museum and just had to try and re create it. Not copy it because I have no imagination but because it just looked the part in my opinion. I've always liked coming up with colour schemes etc so was reluctant at first to 'copy' but in the end just couldnt resist.
'83 Chrome TA
Skyway Race Bars (Johnny Chopper copy)
Flights
MX1000's NOS
Oakley F1's NOS

DC Seat Clamp

Sugino Chain Ring and Power Disc
Repro Pad Set (Complete NOS Skyway Padset also, still in packet)

Yep, Nick had a one piece on his, SX's and Grab On's. I already had the cranks, grips and pedals and was keeping costs down. Also, as she is, it isnt an exact copy with those few different parts. :daumenhoch:

nice looking TA that :daumenhoch:

sweet :daumenhoch:

Tony that's your own interpretation of how a T/A should be done,, you've not plaguerised ;)
(I understand you've put that incase someone else had to comment ;) :angel: )
As you've said Munners' T/A was :4_17_5: but it doesn't mean that if you do a T/A choosing red bits with a splash of blue that its copying :crazy2:
Apart from doing this colour option or all black or white components , there isn't anything else what looks right on a T/A ???
My T/A XL is built up virtually the same ,with all red bits with a bit of blue :smitten:
Also you've chose many different parts ,,,straight post , 3 piece crank , pedals , etc
Cracking build, mate :4_17_5: :4_17_5: :4_17_5:
Mine :)
