All it needs are the $500 Grafite's. If you can find them.... Mine didn't have them either

Well, I've seen Graphites for sale, but I STIIL cant afford em. They usually go for over $300.00. I just picked up some NOS black and gold Tuff pedals. These will enhance her even more.

Agree on the graphites...
I have a set on a Prostyler but now want to build a replice Richie Anderson Patterson or a Skyway TA around them.
You guys may remember Matt Hoffman riding a TA early on. I remember the first time seeing him ride his TA on vert in person, scared the hell out of me!

This must be one of the nicest T/A's I have seen to date. Great colour scheme with the gold touches. I agree the graphites with the gold flanges would totally finish her off.
