My painter still hasn't got his shed set up so this isn't final paint for Fatrax, just thought I'd put it together and see what it looked like, paint is Tim el-crappo no skill. Might get it powdered still.
It's the original colour, skyway star wheels and tyres may stay, that's the point of the poll; it will have better forks (those are pitted and I had to weld dropout back together), seat and post will stay, the cranks are road bike so is chain just to see how it looked until I get cranks, have got stickers and transfers to go on, Lee chi brakes will stay same, as will grips and gooseneck, bars will be replaced by nos same shape but not ALPS brand. Not sure what I'll be doing for pedals yet. A friend's wife works at Spotlight and is going to see if she can get stuff to make a yellow bar pad for it, she can sew really good.

Anyway just wondering if people think yellow tuffs, the black star wheels on it or standard satin finished weinmann or polished weinmann rims?

I'd leave those ones on Tim, Phil might disagree but I reckon they look great. Yellow might be a bit too yellow.

The yellow isn't quite as bright as the picture just my poor photography skills.
thanks for feedback just really hard to decide what wheels are the go.

A m8 of mine had a Fatrax many moons ago, it was silver with blue tuffs and looked a treat.
I reckon urs is coming along nicely and will look awesome too m8
It's good to see a classic done up.

Updated the Fart Ax
It looks better now I think, I am way too tall to really ride it far, but i like it like this.
Managed to fix the stuffed powder up a lot with heaps of elbow grease and got the cranks in much better now.
Comments welcome
