Help with next mod
My next mod on my 72 is the wheels.Am having powdercoated stainless spokes fitted and the rims powdercoated,but cant make my mind up on the colour combination,my choices are black spokes brass nipples and black rims, or black spokes, brass nipples and red rims,not a bright red was thinking of almost burgundy to tone in with the original "72" red any thoughts appreciated.

Either one is going to look great on your 72... very difficult to pick one, I can understand why you posted the question...
If they can match the red to the bike... wheels would have the same color combination as the tank. If not a match, it will look weird to have a different color in the mix. |
Without seeing a photo of your current bike or knowing your further design plans...
I like the subtle option: Black rims, black spokes, brass nipples. |
red on red is gonna be way overkill on your bike
but then again, I like subtlety |
Pic of more or less how the bike looks now,also thinking having pulley powdercoated at same time might as well while its off.

Take a look in the Tech Powdercoat forum where there often examples of wheels and stuff, that might give you some ideas. JRK5892 over there posts lots of pics in his 'cool stuff' thread to admire!

They would be a lot of work but brass spokes with red rims and black nipples would really set that 72 off.

I say black spokes and rims with brass nipples. I have black spoke covers on my 48 with black rims and I like that look. I want to brass powder coat my nipples next.
