Picked up my latest build today....................83 Quad

Got a polished Tuf neck coming in a about a week and the post will be changed, possibly to a layback but otherwise, job done.

Cheers

They are indeed Glen but the Quadangle Looptails are far nicer.

I really like that, great mix of colours and is that a Revcore seat post clamp? The DK stem looks pretty nice on it too

Definitely a rider, might make it's debut on the London ride in June.

Thanks mate, the DK stem, although it looks good is the wrong era so will be changed in a week or so to a polished Tuf Neck. It is indeed a Revcore Clamp, a NOS one at that, slightly polished, definitely not the troop ones that CW are currently selling. Apparently only 50 were originally made, How true that is though is debatable.

Cheers for the nice comments chaps, now go vote for it in BOTM

A chrome/polished chainwheel would look nice on there. Would break up the blue a bit more. (I'd probably have to add a blue/silver zebra chain then though if I did that

)

Cracking bike as it is but those refinements you have planned won't do any harm...

You could also remove the fork decals and re-apply them in your own inimitable style. RAEG GNIDNAL, sorted

That is deffo a crisp build, seen this in the making

As for a rider... Everything's a rider where we're from

southern andy · « **Reply #11 on:** May 08, 2011, 08:54 AM »

In your photobucket account, you can edit and rotate pictures. Just find the seat picture, hover your mouse cursor over it until it pops out at you. You'll see a blue bar come up, click on EDIT and use the rotate buttons to move the picture around. Then click on replace original.

Now the bike.......

i would defo change the chainring to polished silver/chrome and i'd get on to Steve and get some pads made, Quads look naked without them. A nice black set with silver/blue writing. Maybe lose the tyres for more era correct but then if it's a rider then i'd keep them.

Other than that, that is superb. Amazing colour

These are just my opinions and i don't mean to upset you with my changes but i do love a Quad, so racy looking.

Not at all mate, opinions are all relevant and certainly welcome, i thought the tyres were Era Correct

What ones should i be using? I have much to learn from you boys

Here you go, I have rotated your pictures.

How the hell did you do that? did you hack into my Photobucket Account?

Cheers boys

Love it Adam, all class bud, the only thing i would change is the chainring, something a little blingy would do the trick.......

Great stuff mate,

Thanks Ben,
A lot of people have said change the Chainring to a Polished or Chrome one but i'm not sure, i think there might be a bit too much Chrome in one spot although i see your point, i could change it to a PPP one

Sean hasn't mate, he's just saved the pictures to his own photobucket account and edited them for you.

Tyre wise..... you have an 83 bike so should be looking for 83 tyres rather the late late 80's/90 tyres.

My wife will argue with you about that.

Anyhow, if you think a chrome/polished chainring will look like there is too much of one colour then try a Chrome/polished power disc with a blue suntour chainring.
