Nice that Derek  :daumenhoch:

Not sure on the bars and tyres though mate. :-\

Kappy has some bars on eBay that would look more at home on this. :coolsmiley:

cheers lads,tried to go for a bit of an early 80s look hence big bars and whitewalls.
whitewall tyres did seem to be the freestyle choice as I remember round our way then was it like that elsewhere?

Mate it was the same here, whitewalls all the way everyone had them.

 I've done 3 builds now using them dunno why people question the use of them really as it's not like we could afford anything else back in the day. Comp 3's look shocking on freestyle bikes & of course panaracers grow on trees dont they so what else is there ?????
