Last Gen Graphites.  Also, that looks so sweet.  You are lucky to have found that fork so quickly.

Re: whooooo hooooooo skyway ta!!!

If its truly your grail build this super slow and correct. Even if it takes years. I cant remember if youre the one who said he doesnt have tons of cash to spend. I'd make a list of everything you need. Go slow. Get the white or blue Elina. Get the tange headset. Start a fund to get the graphites mags. 1 perfect "10" bike built over a long time is better then five "8.5" built quickly. I learned that the hard way. Even more then money the most important part to building your grail is PATIENCE!!

Re: whooooo hooooooo skyway ta!!!

Killer score!

Dont know the details on the painting it comments? But if its true - why??????? Why not get a white one and paint that?

The chrome is great, keep it OG!

Re: whooooo hooooooo skyway ta!!!

Im so unclear on what to do
Always wanted an all white one. All the chrome ones look so plain to me. With the white, u can hide flaws so i dont want to trade. But mine is almost too perfect to ruin.

Re: whooooo hooooooo skyway ta!!!

dang those forks are mint. you are a lucky man matching them up to your frame. there's a line of peeps looking for those forks. congrats.
1. keep it og chrome for sure
2. everyone puts friggin tuffs on these, dare to be different, and use rims.

I think doing this All Chrome parts with black tires, seat and grips would be sick!!!!

Re: whooooo hooooooo skyway ta!!!

Paint can't hide chips which will happen. Mine is powder coated and I baby it. It still gets chips. You want color that what grips tires wheels can be for. That chrome is to nice to paint. Find a white one.  They are out there.

Re: whooooo hooooooo skyway ta!!!

Put it up for trade for a white in similar condition.
If you really want a white one, a chrome one will never do.
