(Black rims)
Yup, black rims, cool eh Graeme?
I must plead guilty to the black rim bigots. I did them back in 1993/4 and I think I was the first go black on a pre 75 bike to my knowledge. It was way cool back then but has had it's day in 2010.
Don't worry though, because I've had a tap on the shoulder from the pit Nazis telling me my hubs are 'verboeten' so it's going back to the original shiny Akronts and full width front hub if I decide to bring the old puppy back onto the track.
Ijn reflection though, the black rims aren't as bad as the earlier purple rim or fluro phases I went through.
Everyone hated them. which achieved the desired effect.
Sigh!It's so hard being a fashion icon.
