Thats lovely!! :smitten: ....But fook me those axles are almost pegs themselves ;D
-
very nice :)
except the chain imo
not too keen on those types. chrome and red would look much better i think

Thought about taking them down to be honest but didn't want to risk damaging them! Like i said it's a work in progress :daumenhoch:
-
It is a stunner though mate, really like that!! :daumenhoch:
-
very nice :)

When i ordered it it looked as if it was red anno, but actually in the flesh i think it looks real nice so i kept it on :daumenhoch:
-
Great that :4_17_5: , i do like black tuffs with white walls , love the bars quite large, have you got long legs ? :LolLolLolLol:
-
It's really sweet mate, though I agree with Dave about the chain and the tyres, I'd also drop the seat post an inch or so, and pull the bars back a tad. :coolsmiley: :daumenhoch:
-
^^^^^
Second :LolLolLolLol:
I will be the first to say it..
pull the bars back a bit.. :LolLolLolLol:
Love the bike :daumenhoch:
-
lovely build mate :smitten: :daumenhoch: but lose the chain ;)
-
like it alot :smitten:
Not 100% on the chain :-\
But if we all liked the same it would be boring :daumenhoch:
-
Colours are great, and very cool frameset. VC10s look a little tall in my opinion and skinwall Comp llls would look better but so long as your happy that's all that matters.
Great build.

looking great and super clean ;)
seat post now needs to go down
-
thats a great bike and a lovely build sir , i love vectors myself as well and have a couple :smitten:, you were very lucky getting them forks as well , as said i really like it but i'd ditch the flex fighter with them bars on ,seatpost down a bit and get them bars back a bit we've all been pulled up on having the bars too far forward at some point :daumenhoch:, although these were a race bike i'm liking the look of the whitewalls on there, very very nice that mate and i love them massive bars as well

That sir is one mighty fine Frame ,forks and bars you've got there :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley:

Subtle...! ^"^

Lovely build :smitten:
I have to say, the chain is a bit 'in your face' but i can see why you went for it. Again, the seatpost could do with coming down a few inches but thats just preference. Its an awesome bit of kit :daumenhoch: :coolsmiley:
-
Very nice built there... Glad the forks match in you frame...
cheers Patric :daumenhoch:
-
::) ::) yeh he was very lucky there patric you had the forks :daumenhoch: , you haven't anymore have you ;D

No it was on my old surviver Ripper since 1983 .. always wanted a LAnding Gear for it.
But never had the chance to change it..

I know 12welvemonkeys - but he's always reluctant to ship to the UK, I have to use my US address. Did you manage to get him to ship direct or did you have go via someone else?
PS. If it gets too cold let me know ;)

Nice one and those bars are MENTAL!!!!

Hey no worries, like a lot of people I didn't used to really like them either, but i really think it's helps to set the bike off in this case. Not fully decided but depending on which direction i decide to go on my next couple of builds I've a feeling coloured chain's might actually start to become a regular thing :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

sweet bike
sweet bars
black and chrome izumi or D.i.D chain would look nice...
F-F-FRESH... :daumenhoch:
