SHOW N SHINE QUESTION

(1/2) > >>

deeman:
O.K...a question i probably already know the answer to but i am just curious about opinions.....
Would a bike with beigey alloy hubbed white tuffs which are totally original and untouched/ unbleached / not aqua blasted be marked down in any way in the show n shine at MK for instance?
My feeling is  probably yes but i am interested in what people have to say all the same.... :-\

factory pilot:
It depends on the build ... my all OG Haro Master has slightly off white OG tuffs .. and won 1st place ..  it just depends on the build I think mate  fistblump

dancetothedrummersbeat:
If they are original finish, and in very good or better condition, then that can only be a positive. Very good original beats very good restored👍🏆

That’s a good question Damo. I don’t really know what the show & shine criteria is either.  As far as I can tell, almost none of my bikes are suitable for entry. I do know that over restored isn’t appreciated. Tuffs that show there age wouldn’t be marked less than ones that had been bleached, blasted etc. You entering? I really hope I get to catch up with you at MK this year mate :4_17_5:

Yea...debating it mate,
i have a lovely pair of ally hub tuffs with only 1 small crack, very original, very nice but they are defo off white. i want to peroxide them ideally but something can't bring me to touch them!! i kinda almost like the beigey look somehow..although i am sure it would look loads better if they were actually white!...or whiter.....but then the beige shows originality.... :-\
i just wondered what peoples opinions were..
Hell yea definitely need to catch up at MK this year!  :daumenhoch:
