Scott Gibbs Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Starting a build thread of my 24UK as a documentary to the build. So far the frame is at work where I'm de-cluttering the frame by removing any excess tabs to clean up the lines a bit. I've masked and sprayed the forks with my colour of choice just have apply the Matt clear coat next. Also have a lovely shiny set of chrome Spank Spike rims on their way to me now. (Cheers Sponge) any comments welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 When building up a bike, I usually wait till its fully built before applying the stickers. The fork sticker looks a bit squint? It'd look better on the inside too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Gibbs Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 It's the original logo that's on the forks as standard I just masked over it when I painted them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldred_85 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 God the grief I got from the other half when i got my Tactics. According to her, the centre logo looks nazi. Admittedly the centre one does resemble the Iron Cross. Then the outer lines do bare a vague resemblance to a swastika. Lovely. Hah! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
