Title: my streetbeat
Post by: gary4130 on May 27, 2010, 09:43 PM
bought this off tefore on ebay oct'04 ,to use as my daily rider to +from work

then this year paint was flaking off,so time to resto+use as a summer ride
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/l79/gary7071/P230210_09450003.jpg)
but what colour to do? finally decided to go black/white i know its not an original colour way ,but green /white 'beats have been done to death,so i thought i'd go for something different

That is one sweet beat :smitten:

You could try the Black tuff on the front and White on the back. :uglystupid2:

I prefer the whites myself but hey my Beats green and red so what do I know ;D

Great bike.  Loving the Tech 5 with Potts mod 2 :daumenhoch:
