I may as well with my red and purple geezer! My other half thinks it's hideous but I love it!

Yes they are DMR Loccd grips.
Thanks for the compliments you ****s! ๐Ÿ™‚ I wanted a Rockhopper when I was younger and never got one. This bike is meant to look like a 90's bike. Purple anodizing, clear crud catchers etc. Could do with picking up a Daves Chain Device now!

I like that orange sc. Very tidy! Where did you get the red chain?

I tried to get those DMR's for a while but they were sold out. The bike looks eccentric, I secretly like it.

Thanks catflees. Ive just got the bike the way I wanted it when I was 15! Only difference is the tyres. Back in the day, it was biscuit coloured Panaracers I was after. I couldn't find any, so went a bit daft with the Halos.

I got the DMR grips from here.

In stock and quick delivery! I think theyre really comfy with or without gloves. They seem a good fit for my hands. The Spesh ones that were on it were way too thin.

I think I will rob!

Im on the hunt for purple ano disc rotor bolts and purple headset. Or perhaps, although it wont match, a Rasta Chris King headset might be an option. A wee nod to my second favourite past-time as a teenager! ๐Ÿ™‚

I've seen a purple ano stem that I almost went for. Cant decide whether to go white or purple with the stem though.

It is all a bit ridiculous, but it's fun.

I've posted this a few times recently, but here goes...

unfortunately you can't really see the purple hubs, rear skewer, stem, spacers, purple grips.. I bought the wheels and purple bits off a member on here, the frame also has ano purple bottle cage bolts and pannier blanks. ๐Ÿ™‚

Picked this one up on Friday, have wanted one for years!

Needs a good clean and a general fettle, but first impressions suggest it'll be a grin inducing pub bike.

That is,by some margin,the worst looking bike I have ever seen.
Unless you have a lotus/JPS fetish that is....which I don't.

Bobby - go on, you need to go for a purple headset! check out DMR? good luck dude.

That demo is the most disgusting bike I have ever seen. Whoever owns that needs a good talking to.
