SWEET!!!!! Those cranks really set it off....
supergoose
the only thing left to do is lowering the seat by at least 2 to 4 inches. other than that it's pretty damn nice.

Thanks for the comments! As far as the seat goes, well... it's a seat and I sit on it when I ride. I don't get too rad anymore so I don't have to worry about it getting in the way.

Damn! Now you got me re-thinking the whole graphite tuffs on my black Quadangle thing... all that chrome really makes it *pop*. I dig black bikes like that, not the new every friggin part on the bike is black, black bikes that are so common...

Thats one heck of _itchin ride woody. I realy like the cranks and would wish KAPPA would make them again (web site allways says there out).
oldprobmx
that is a sweet ride, i would have to beat on it at the track a few times, i have that frame and it feels so good on the track.

the chrome GHP bars and cranks really enhance the effect.

Will coloredtuffs ever get anymore chrome GHP bars?
Is that model of cranks currently available on the market?
Woody's Hot Rods
Dingo- the brake setup works great.

BridgeCityBikes-TOMMY2WHEEL- Kappa does not make those cranks anymore. One of the members here has a set that has been on Ebay a few times for $525-$550. I don't think they sold either time through Ebay. Maybe post in the wanted section.

Sweet. Excellent choice on the Phil hubs. Here's a nugget of advice that will help at the track, but may be pointless if you're just cruising around: ditch the ACS freewheel in favor of a White Industries. You have the smoothest hubs in the world, and one of the notchiest freewheels. If you're not racing and want the chrome bling (Whites are silver), I'd go with Shimano.

But, you know, other than me being picky about freewheels, the bike is mind-blowing.
Woody's Hot Rods
Thanks for the tip Gooser! I will probably switch it out even though I don't race anymore. Smooth is a good thing!
Spicoli
the nicest retro build I've ever seen, that bike is just killer...great job
bmxbuzz
The White Ind. freewheels do make a huge difference. I also run Phils with one. Very noticable change.
