Title: Chrome TA finished - my last build!
Post by: torkertony on August 01, 2009, 04:10 PM
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
Kashimax Aero NOS
MKS Footjaw pedals NOS
Comp III's NOS
Skyway Tuff II's (mine from bitd, cleaned up and still with the Skyway decal I put on 25 years ago!)
Tuf Neck Stem
DC Seat Clamp
Red Izumi Chain NOS
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:

Nick had a a GT layback as well.  I used his as inspiration for mine, that was the nicest TA ive ever seen (and I tend to prefer white ones). Mine has changed now since the pics below, need to get some new pics of mine sorted soon.

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  :)
