Title: Advice please...now with pics
Post by: Broggie on November 05, 2008, 02:14 PM
People gave me good advice when I wasnt happy with my 84 master  :daumenhoch:  So I've decided to ask again  ;) .

Some of you will know I've got an 06 retro sport, shutup Joe  >:D. Yeah it aint the best bike in the world, but it aint the worst either and I kind of like it in the same way an ugly dog grows on you.

Currently its got kneesavers, toadstools, a shadow crow seat, crank brothers 5050x (black silver) Haro multisurface 3 whitewalls and turquoise peregrine masters....

But that black chainwheel is so depressively dull....what will look good instead? (about the same size)


Thanks for putting up with my 06  :daumenhoch:


Ray.

the tree and the odyssey both look good to me, the 5 arm style has a nice retro feel to it,

the micro-drive on the last one looks totally wrong though, it kind of jarr's my eye,

Tree sprockets are lovely, we are just waiting for them to come back into stock at Seventies and then we will have them as a regular item in the shop.

Personally, I'd stick with black for the sprocket, just not the Haro one because it looks pants.
