Even though I haven't finished my current build I'm already thinking ahead to the next one

It's either going to go two ways, stay brand loyal or go for a 70's build

I've seen a few crop up in the past few years in the Tech Section & BOTM and John's 79 Goose got me all excited again

I hope he doesn't mind but I thought I'd get this thread started with one of his pics.
(see build in full here: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=115213 )

So, lets have em then fellas

Bassett Swooper - dated 79' but didn't reach these shores until 82/82

these should just qualify as they are 1970's designs, but made around 1980...

My DeCoster, 1978 all the way baby (including all of the parts).
