if you choose the Milka look via Argos...will be interested to know how it goes / compares with the orignal paint...have a old-skool "Team" Yo Eddy in that same colour scheme that am tempted to get refreshed.

Goodluck with the build-up, hope the porridge is just right this time!

I went to Argos before and chose a Stock Colour that was close to Milka.. But turned out to be quite different; much darker..

I think to be honest I'm gonna go the red/Black Combo.. Haven't done that one before and can colour match the Red to a set of Judy DHs.. Also, I've had a set of Contis lying around for this very build for months and months 8)

So the hunt is on.. Black Ringle, Black Grafton and an XTR M900 Drivetrain.. :twisted:
