Started out life like this:-

Made a coaster brake bracket out of an old Tech 77 laver:-

Finished result:-

Cool bit of retro there. Are those NOS Tuffs?

i like it a lot but why did you have to use a voelker,

id been after one for ages $:-\$

Stodgy · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04, 2010, 04:34 PM »

I did love that Volker edition GT...was a nice rare frame set.

Thanks for the comments.

Answers to a few of the questions:-

Forks are Mongoose Cr-Mo.

Tuffs were NOS from Alans years and years ago.

Voelker frame came off E-Bay for about £50-£60 if I remember correctly.

If my son (and me) get half as much fun out of this BMX, as I did as a kid, it'l of been well worth the time and effort involved. It'l be fun to ride, without the worry of ruining one of my old rides from 84.
Another oldish/newish performer to come soon....watch this space!!
