live a little, have some fun, it's a bike not a museum piece...I change out cables like i change drawers...for me it's worth a look-n-see.

doesn't sombody have a black monster with shocking pink cables and grips in this forum?

besides i gotta do something to distinguish these bikes, from my garage full of huffy's painted the same colors.....

Ok guys here is a picture with black cables, does not look bad, right?

I think i can replace the cables time and again, now that's not so important (but the color pink can shoot better :D).

Today I modified my xt ring bit so it fits on my cooks and have replaced my xt bottom bracket with a new one (cooks needs at least 132mm :(). It is only used as temporary solution and will eventually be replaced by another (Phil Wood)

Wow...

That is absolutely beautiful. did you restore some paint too? That is seriously the best condition Ive ever seen a fat chance in. The condition of the paint is just incredible!

The dumbest thing I ever did was stripping the Grello paint from my 1990 Wicked. I want that finish back so bad.

Who is the go-to guy for Grello Re-do's in the states these days?

and why did you it? :confused: ..the grello is unique ;)

I decided, the black cables fit much better and will remain forever on it.

My reasoning at the time was something less flashy to leave locked up while at college. It was my only bike, and the Grello wasn't exactly subtle.

I had Fat do an Arrest Me Red! respray back in 1996, but I badly want the Grello back.
