Finally finished this, a bit of an 'adventurous' colour choice but the powder finish looks amazing (sbd). I reckon the colours suit a freestyle bike quite well. Special mention to Chubby for the awesome custom pegs :D

I don't often look in the freestyle section but my one and only foray into freestyle was on all-white one of these back in the mid-80s, so I had to have a closer look at this one! A top build, and I love the colours!! :daumenhoch:
-
The colour choice is super nice mate! fistblump A very nice CW - looks awesome on spokes! :daumenhoch:
-
The colours work beautifully .. Superb build mate "wantit"
Personally ( although they are era correct ) I'm not a fan of those pedals ... Swap them and it's perfection for me dude!
A fantastic build :4_17_5:
-
Love that. perfect colour choice
-
Great build mate...I wouldn't change anything...which is unusual for me! :daumenhoch:
-
I bloody love it :4_17_5:
-
This hobby has always been about US 80s Freestyle bikes for me, and this is great.
Never seen any other bars with the part chrome/paint detail which is great, and I really like the way you've done, which I think is important, is the link in of colors, three white items, three satin anodised, and three lavender.
-
Came back for another look ... It's really is a great colour combo ... I can just imagine seeing this at Huntington Beach and it turning heads 8)
-
Blimey, cheers for all the positive comments lads. There I was thinking it might be a bit OTT 😃
Really appreciate all that has been said, that last comment from Factory Pilot has nailed the theory behind this build, built for lazy cruising along a California beach.... All I need to do is find a beach now... 👍😎😎

....or Miami Beach :smitten: insane bike, just the pedals shouldn't be plastic, man :laugh:
-
Top build... colours look great together. :daumenhoch:
-
8) super nice colour way
-
that's a beauty mate fistblump
-
See, told you it was fookin ace Neil :smitten:
Really look forward to nicking some of your ideas :whistle:
-
They Acs 860's too ???
-
I really like the colour combination. Very Miami Vice 8)
-
Just thinking aloud here, but if the pedals were swapped out, what would be the main candidates for replacements?
-

Yup, front and rear mate. seem to work good too! 👍
-
Very 1986 Neil, cracking bike. :coolsmiley:
-

I thought about a set of the cw grinder pedals but they never come up from what I can tell. I Don't like white painted alloy pedals (think they look weird) and needed some white to go with the seat so settled for the plastic lollypops. Could maybe go for chrome but think it might unbalance the colours....

Look at the pedals on my Aero Reflex, they were fairly cheap too.

Seen a cw with graphies on and it looked alright .. :-\. Or mks 2000s ?
:whistle: ..to be honest, i now think the tiogas aint that bad after all, add to that cruiser feeling

both of those alternatives would work great, I'd go for White Grapfights or the Victor equivalents that they did on the Haro Sports that same era.

Have a set of copy graphite x's in black but they don't look right (and try finding a white set that ain't stoopid money....) Might be sacrilege but was built as more of a late 80s beach cruiser so I reckon I'll stick with em for now.... :D
....although I could vinyl spray the black graphite x's in white but not sure how long it would last.....
-
Love it! Aceballs :daumenhoch:
-
Liking that lots :daumenhoch:
-
That would look well in my collection. Nice bike :)

What a fantastic looking CW there , very nice :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
-
the colour combo is great mate nice
-
Now with lovely Lavender OGK Mags :smitten: (thanks to Chubby)
Excuse the ducks... :D ;D :LolLolLolLol:
-
Great build if it was mine I would only change one thing the stem to a GT Mallet stem they look perfect on a CW :daumenhoch:
-
Cool bike Neil, I do prefer it with the spokes though mate. :daumenhoch:
-
Love that fella, the custom colours work a treat ;)
-
AWSUM defo spokes may i surgest z rims >:D
-
Thats cool 8) Frame colour reminds me of Vw Beetles/campers.
Normally id say mags on everything :slayer: but i think that extra purple unbalances it, so id stick with the spoles 8)
-
Always loved this CW, :daumenhoch:
Handsome with mags but maybe too much Purple with the tyres,white ones should balance it?
Nice job though.
-
yep, will be swapping out the tyres for white k55's and i have some white tange grips to go on as well.... :daumenhoch:
-
I think adding the white grips and tyres will re address the balance and look ace! :daumenhoch:
-
That is such a nice freestyle build :4_17_5:
