wow, its been a long 6 months, This bike has been planned out for too long.

My cousin used to have an S&M identical to this one (minus the prince alberts/padset was black) always looked up to him, was the reason I got into BMX in the first place. He sold it back in 01/02.

Big thanks to fraz4130 who drew up the decals from photos i had supplied, Big thanks to del who produced the decals and a Big thanks to SBD who painted, then repainted as I was too fussy on the colour. You guys are Leg ends

This is my first mid school build that ive done that wont be ridden (for a few months at least)

Ditto! Can I just say that Fraz is a bloody genius with a pen! between us I think we've reproduced one of the best looking decal sets ever made!

Very nice build Tom, looks great in Yellow, for some reason I thought you were doing one in green.

amen to that, haha, definately the best S&M decal set ive ever seen. The frame was going to be green but SBD couldnt get the colour in stock, glad it turned out like this though.

Thanks guys for all your comments

They wouldn't have looked half as good without dels skills and refinements, definately nailed the colours, here's how they were before they were brought to life
