Blow me! It's almost impossible to find gold pieces that match perfectly...you can think my bike looks like "crap" if you want but I really wanted to follow a theme at the time...Nyahh nyahh nyahh!

that bike would look even sicker IMO if you had the wheels powdercoated the same blue as the rest of the theme. WHite wheels look good too, but that blue would look sweet.

You really think so? Hmmm...I'd probably go paint instead of powdercoat talk about color matching problems.... How about doing the spoke area in blue and the rim in white?

Any combo of the blue and white down there would look pretty sweet. Would totally bring out the NC scheme too.

Actually,the tires were new when I took that pic AND I get off the bike enough so that I don't have to scrape the pegs to get around a corner! Of course,you're right at my age and considering the amount of damage I'm carrying,I don't chase the limits of grip like I used to. I'm happy with double posted limit these days... Besides,"Sonny" come see me when you can ride your bike down the street WITHOUT hitting parked cars!
