I'm not feeling the color of the seat either, but it is an absolutely stunning build! Nice work.
ACGTO
Since posting the pics I'm a bit concerned about the seat too. I have a NOS Kashimax and NOS Elina Lightning Bolt. Will test them out tonight and see how they look.

Welcome to the exclusive XL Skyway Tuffer than Hell Bike Club.
If the stickers aren't original they are excellent repoductions , that dark red on them makes all the difference.

We got a black Shotgun seat on ours , seems to work/look good.

The stickers are original. Stuffed them a bit so have to get another set.
AndyDiamond
Wow very nice build.

Clean!

And I like the little colour highlights.


Black seat might do it good.
QuicksilverBMX
That bike is super clean! I reckon the seat adds that "something different"

Nice work

I like it. You could always keep the seat and get white grips. That way the two top items would match. Bike starts of dark at the bottom and slowly gets lighter as you move up.

In the end, just do what you like.

THAT is so sweet!!!
Average Joe
I hesitate to post...I'm so envious

That is a spectacular build.

Also, I hate to pile on but the seat would look better if black or red and the brake pads ought to be black-IMHO.

Oh, nice driveway as well!
Bradster
Beautifull-love the chrome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Criscobath
WOW! That's exactly how I'd build one. Perfect in every way.
MiniZ
Stunning!!!
jcbel
Great looking bike, I really think the red brakes and neck stand out. I think a red or black Kashimax aero would look even better.

TOTALLY AWESOME - Get it? T/A!!

Beautiful bike!!
Stunning!
ghostriderBMX
WOW !!! I get my T/A back from powder tomarrow and now I feel the bar just got a lot higher. Great Job, one of the cleanest builds I've seen.
Nighthawk
I'm going against the grain here, but I think the white seat is awesome and is what makes the bike look complete and killer and unlike any other T/A. One of the best I've ever seen if not _the_ best.
Keithandstef
Is that original chrome?? Wow.
Tone7
Wow!! that is so nice..
JohnnyRingo
Hot digidy-dog! That is a truly beautiful looking bike. I'm getting so excited looking at it that I almost feel dirty.
z-man99
One of my favorite builds this year. Great job!

i too vote for the white seat. your bike looks perfict, the white seat just says class it shows that you stand apart from all the rest. the norm would be to go with a black or red. besides it looks killer with the # plate SWEET BIKE!!!!!!!!!

Very nice build and very clean with just the right choice of parts and colors.
Mattblack
Very cool set-up.

Nice one

It's funny, at my first glance the seat really grabbed me. Thought the lightning bolt coloring just rocked the bike. To each his own of course.

That said, not too many builds are gonna top that, T/A or otherwise. Speaking of 'feeling dirty', that's how I feel about what I'm doing to my T/A after seeing that ride. It's cool though, I've pimped one bike max out and that's enough. Just gonna have some fun with this next one.

Congrats on a true showstopper!

BTW, can I ask you a question about that bikestand dealie ya got there?

What's the deal with that dealie?

Never seen one of those.

Black mags need black brake pads. Other than that, you WIN
