Right - I'm about the start rebuilding the V2 of @DoktorPepe.
I can't paint it because he'll have a coronary, but has anyone any recommendations on the best rims to go for? I'd like to to be a little more rugged than my previous builds, so I'm sniffing around some Chub Hubs...
Cranks might well be Sugino 75's, Onions or even Rotor's - just open to suggestions based on experience really.

I don't want to cover that one off sticker though!
As far as repainting goes, I have a couple of ideas on colour schemes:
1) A watermelon frame with black components.
2) Porsche Gulf colours from the 1970's
3) The Porsche Pink Pig 917 which shows all the cuts of meat in German.
4) Alternatively I'll just leave it raw. -

Some sort of Porsche colours would be very fitting to you, I think this is the way to go.
You can always take a picture of that holographic decal and find who could make them, shouldn't be to complicated.

To be honest, I just search "Specialized Pig" and that was it.
-
• #3347
Oh mate :(
Do you reckon you could ever get it back?
-
• #3349
Ha! sure a gangsta ride will be great (again). just find the idea weird, like those strange people who go to vdub conventions.
Definitely need new wheels for mine after realising how much heavier they made my brooklyn compared to yours!
