Seeing as it's been an absolute age since I last posted a bike on here I figured I'd get back up to speed.
:daumenhoch:
This is a pretty special rare frame set as its one of only a couple of original finish gold Quadangles left. They were painted gold in late 82/early 83 and distributed, however the colour wasn't a popular choice and the majority got re finished.
I picked this up around 4 years ago and couldn't decide how to build it so into storage it went.
Finally though it's getting somewhere near how I want it with in restored parts.

"wantit" Back with a BANG ... That's awesome Ash. :daumenhoch:
-
Awesome pairing. :slayer:
-
Ash I do apologise .. When I saw this thread I thought it was your gold ripper thread. :crazy2: :idiot2:
This is amazing ... It really looks good ... Together .. "wantit" what a pair of beauties... Amazing :4_17_5:
I love the black landing gears on the quad .. It really works.
If my black/gold quad turns out half as good I'd be really happy dude!
Love the shot of them both together.... Epic Rad picture 8) :smitten:
-
Thats a fine pair you have there :-*
-
love them

Mint

Got to admit it wouldn't of been my first colour choice BITD if i was out buying a quad but im so glad it survived and you have done a great job as always Ash :coolsmiley:
One hell of a pairing together with the Ripper :4_17_5:
-
Alright I guess! :D ;D
-
Thanks all :4_17_5: must admit after a a fair few months pondering what to build its good to be back at it :LolLolLolLol:
Think I might change the grips on it though, the Toadstools are very comfy but a little too early for this.
-
That quad is really top notch ash.. 😎
-
That's a difficult colour to do well but you've nailed it! Stunning bike! :smitten:
-
not bad Ash :daumenhoch:
should have put Victors on it though
-
Just realised that this was missing from BOTM Ash. ??? >:D
-
Good point that Dan ::) am I allowed to enter it this month.. ;)

Thanks and I fully agree, too much gold doesn't look right as its a tough colour to match up. See too many bikes with miss matched gold and it doesn't quite work. Not easy to get it right.
-
Oh I say
-
Cool and classy, not to fussy.
Very nice :coolsmiley:
-
Good point that Dan ::) am I allowed to enter it this month.. ;)
Please do. :daumenhoch:

Absolutely, that's exactly why so few are still out there it just wasn't a good colour for that time.
-
another great quad from the funky one
-
Nice :daumenhoch:
-
Mint
-
the pallet in the background is a nice touch !! "wantit"
-
It's modern art mate :whistle:
-
Have just come back for a
second fifth look at this bike. Absolutely love it! :smitten:
-
Missed this first time round. lovely build, and as said the black LG's work really well.
Excuse my ignorance, what's the stem on it?
-
The stem is a quirky one. RZ which was a French company that made a few stems and clamps, has a bit of an ESP look to it.
