Title: With or Without???
Post by: Daletsunami on March 24, 2010, 08:16 PM: Managed to get my plate finished tonight for my Skyway TA Race build but when i've put it on i'm not sure I like it :-\

I think the plate looks pretty good but i'm just not sure if it's right on the bike

What do you reckon?

With..............

Post by: hunterdubber on March 24, 2010, 09:34 PM: Dale , spoke on Sunday about the T/A didn't know it was gonna be that nice :4_17_5:

I've had the same quandry with some builds , as I like to have a plate for all my builds but sometimes they don't always benefit.

I just like having the plates because adding all the old school logos onthem ,takes me right back to reading the old magazines :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

Post by: baldbmxer on March 25, 2010, 09:30 AM: I like it with the plate but it is a shame it covers the stickers on the bars. Take of the ACS and Mushroom stickers though. For one you havent got Mushrooms on it ;)

And get some brake blocks!!!! :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: MartyC on March 25, 2010, 11:51 AM: Looks great with or without. Keep the plate and send me the bike; problem sorted >:D

Post by: JD_76 on March 25, 2010, 12:11 PM: With, its that big on a windy day it will be like a sail, then I will be able to pass you no problem ;D

Love the bike Dale :smitten:
Title: Re: With or Without???
Post by: bmxboy70 on March 25, 2010, 04:04 PM: With!! but my advice would be not to race it until you fit a chain (brake blocks are optional!) ..... Sweet ride Dale sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet...
Title: Re: With or Without???
Post by: dj_benice on March 25, 2010, 05:08 PM: +1 on switch the yellow out for red n white

Tidy ride every which way up mind :4_17_5:
Title: Re: With or Without???
Post by: bobafett on March 25, 2010, 05:47 PM: Like others have said it looks nice both ways, BUT...........

For me personally I prefer "show builds" without a plate - I like to see the bars 8)

But that's just my take - Race plates for racing or hanging on the wall, or maybe for rider replica builds :-\

Lovely bike though :daumenhoch:
