Title: My 84 Sport Re-vamp!
Post by: Flatcap on October 12, 2008, 11:07 AM

I've been tinkering with this for a few weeks now and it's nearly how I want it, only got to add the Kool Kaps to fit the Tuffs and change the cranks as well but I'm torn.....what do you think?? Black or blue??

Daz.  :daumenhoch:

How it was....

By the way...it was total coincidence that the wheels and dust caps were in exactly the same place front and rear. I've just noticed!

Yeah....I'm half and half on the layback. The problem is my bikes are replica's of my own bikes from bitd and they had laybacks on so officially should have laybacks on now but I know what you're saying.

I know what you mean, I ran a layback for a while too bitd but had trimmed it down so it didn't go too far back; helped with look backs and leg clearance  :LolLolLolLol:

The blue looks nice Daz but I much prefer the black  :daumenhoch:

I prefer the blue Daz, but move the seat forward on the lay back, so its close to the bend. other than than its quality.

Looks classic with the black and draws attention to the frame which is friggin beautiful. Keep it as is Daz, its a nice balance and the bars are superb  :daumenhoch:

I like the blue better, but not with black tyres - needs more contrast for me

Great build though

They're caps to retro fit to black tuffs so they look like the old kampy graphites mate.
