FamilyBiker Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 spoke pattern seems normal to me,but on the first pic the left rim looks like it has a dent on the upper side. could both be the angle of the shot though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalopS Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 That is lovely. I love the tyres! I kind feel like it makes a change seeing an arcade with white forks so I'm going to say keep them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Looking good, the forks will just finish it off nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 That's so nice! I really like it with white forks, I say keep them as they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Agreed, I think the forks help make the graphics sort of tie in a bit. It's your bike, but there's something 'right' about that build. Any reason you didn't go for the right forks though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 The forks that were accompanying that frame kit are going to be propping up the front end of Skoze's bike - Ian sold them separately I'm pretty sure... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Aaaaah, I thought the frame Skoze acquired came along with forks, obviously not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Nah, he got his frame from a real cool guy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 So my old arcade frame and cranks are finally reunited! You've done a decent job with that. I'd have sprayed the forks, but now I see it like that, I ain't sure which i prefer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Been doing the rounds then! But yeah, I nabbed the forks as soon as I saw them come up for mine (which did indeed come from a real cool guy), then realised Ben should probably get riding again and Ian didn't need a frame collecting dust. Result; two Arcades coming together and he paid less for the frame than I did the forks Looks real good mate, looking forward to joining you on the mean streets... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldred_85 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Looks lovely. How do you find the tyres? Looking at these for my bike. Cheap, but little worried at thought of a kilo of tyre each end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
