Guys. I snagged this frame set a little while back and have been torn between the wheel set that I should use on it. The frame set is original chrome and decals, accept the head tube decal. It was replaced by the previous owner with a NOS one.

I do like Tuff's on a TA but I also like spokes. So, before I embark on getting some parts together, which wheels would you fit to your TA ???
1 - Blue Araya 7C's laced to HF Sunshine hubs....

2 - 2nd Gen Red Tuff II's....

PS:- I am not into Patriotism so I won't be mixing parts together in red and blue, it's not my thing :D

Araya's for me Terence. :coolsmiley:

Blue z rims :-X

:yahoo_silent: :bellend: :knuppel2: :Aresehole: ;D :-*

Spokes. :daumenhoch:

Spokes or Black Tuffs ;)

The Tuffs were iconic bitd Terry but for me a decent set of spokes always wins and they are a decent set. Would be better as 7X's due to the age of the frame, but who gives a fook when it comes to a year or so, they will look mint bud :coolsmiley:
-
Thanks guys. I guess it be spokes then ;D
Spen, you right buddy. It's only a year out mate, or just about. The frame and fork is June 1983 and the hubs are dated '82. Era correct doesn't really bother me that much when building a survivor. We always updated parts or put on what looked best back in the day.
I was talking to a guy at work today who rode BMX through the 90's and he had a 7X on the front and a Tuff on rear of his bashguard :D
-
There was a TA with white z rims in bike of the month or summing.
Rest of bikes blue I think.
They look surprisingly good on a TA so something worth considering to have best of both worlds? Oh how I wish I hadn't traded my blue coaster Z rims off my ripper BITD. But hey we all had Frankenstein bikes didn't we?

yep have to agree with the above :daumenhoch:
-
+1 more. :)
What colour parts you going for? :)

The parts colour choice will come down to what wheels I put on it bro. I don't want a mix of red and blue so, blue wheels equals blue, black and silver and red the same but with red :daumenhoch:
-
get some Raleigh mags on it and re sticker it as a burner.... :daumenhoch:

Campy Skyways - its the only way to go

I see your point Chris but couldn't bring myself to spend £800+ on some Skyways, regardless of what hubs are fitted to them, just to ride on.
It may look good built but there are too many that look the same. I just wanted to try something different but realised building a TA does actually start with what wheelset you choose.
I'm saving the big bucks for the other 'rather special' race frame set I have on the go :daumenhoch:

zds every time >:D

If I had the choice of your wheels it would be the spokes. If I were to build a chrome TA with spokes ideally i'd go all chrome/silver with black seat and grips.
