Re: First try on fixie project (Nishiki frame)What's your address and I'll send you a spacer! BUt only if you use black electrical tape tom tidy off your bars.
Re: First try on fixie project (Nishiki frame)
I lived in Passmore street Rossmoyne, where are are you live?? So you really don't like I use the silver electrical tape, But I have already rewrap it twice to make sure it is tidy enough, you can have a look, as I posted the photos few posts before. cheer
Re: First try on fixie project (Nishiki frame)
I think what he means is replace the duct tape with Nitto tape because using duct tape makes it look a bit... merhhhh. So no need to rewrap.
