OK here's my latest build - been wanting to build this ever since I built my 84 non-gusset Blue Max last year - gathered bits over the last 12 months but only got my hands on the frame a couple of months ago - at last !

So here's the parts breakdown............

1983 Blue Max F&F (original chrome, new decals)
mongoose stamped stainless steel bars
mongoose gold stem with original decal
mongoose motomag II wheels (polished)
NOS Early logo cheng shin skinwall comp III (thin/thin 1.75's)
NOS Kashimax MX seat
mongoose stamped seat clamp
mongoose SS seatpost
mongoose stamped snowflake chainwheel
unstamped mongoose crank (original to F&F)
NOS Union rat traps
mongoose stamped headset
mongoose stamped BB
mongoose grips
Dia Compe 890/1020 calipers
Dia Compe Pre-bent levers
NOS Genuine Tuff Pads
NOS Dia Compe Cables
NOS Dia Compe Clips
NOS Izumi chain
Iron Cross dust caps
One of a Kind custom blue max vinyl pad set (from the one and only pad master  ;) )

And here she is..............

























Hope you like her lads - she's deffo one of my faves  :)

As you know John , the 84 non-gusset Blue max was one, if not the favourite build of mine that you have done up to now
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=89776.0

but that has surpassed it imo  :4_17_5:

Great attention to detail as ever John , and as for those dust caps  :D  

Get a pic up of how it arrived mate  ;)
