Bontrager Race Lite 1993/94 - new paintjob Page 9

Looks great, but then I would say that
If the grips you are using are longnecks (can't quite tell) then you probably won't get on with attacks either, they have the same mushroom pattern. Ritchey WCS are quite comfy and look in keeping.

I was also preferring the Judys on there - and no, I'm not after the Switchblades

Yeah, Attacks would be nice. I know plenty of people run them and love them, and they always look good.

I'm a big fan of the classic Ritchey WCS hexagonal foam grips myself. Cheap, comfy, classic. And easily replaceable.

Oh, I've just seen @benjabbi has suggested much the same.

Great minds, Etc.

Couple of new bits to finish this build off.
Got another 117 rim to replace the 517 on the rear and picked up a titec handlebar too.



Oh, and I finally managed to get my hands on one of these:

Nice finishing touches and that jersey is sweet

 

[slackboy]

Quite proud of my first attempt at relacing, dishing and truing.





Looks much better with matching 117 rims and the new ti bars set of the silver in the panels quite well

Only the grips and pedals left to offend the purists out there. (And the seat post, saddle and Cnc jockey wheels).

This bike is such a bad boy!

Just look at him.

Looks like the mysterious new guy in town, with a slickback and sunglasses.

Can handle himself, and a woman. If you know what I mean.

Sorry, have I got off topic?

This bike is just excellent.

And looks like it f***s.

 

[pw_pw_la]

But yeah, those pedals are offensive.

A man of his type wouldn't be seen dead in them.

He'd have some shiny black cowboy boots on.

Sorry, I mean era-appropriate SPDs.

Looking good Matt!
