Stompin Stu Thomsen Replica.....new pics with chain..

[monkian]

Man, that is awesome
So what year was the photo taken?

[kungfunky]

Guys I'm totally overwhelmed by the responses  , I never thought for one sec that this bike would get so many thumbs up. The picture is one of my all time fave os shots and pretty iconic so to have built the bike is the icing on the cake for me.
The picture was taken by OM Scot in either very late 79/ early 80, although he can remember taking the picture he's a little sketchy with the exact date. Scot has told me he will try and find the original photo and send it over so if that happens    .

the question is, should I get "stu" printed on my race jersey prior to it being framed?

Ash, I assume this will be making the pilgrimage to MK for all to worship at the 70's SE alter

Nice work bud, looks like you've got first and second place sewn up at the S&S in Vintage 70's race this year then mate

See you saturday fella

[bobafett]

yes pal I'll bring it along for all to laugh at and if your lucky, maybe I'll let you have a spin on it. Pending Breath test  Not sure they will get anything in the SnS tbh with Carl's Robo and Super Snavs RA-7 there, they are seriously cool 

thanks again for the thumbs up guys and your right Sean that 70's section will be rocking

It is just going to be fun being in that section of the S&S no matter who wins.

too right pal and I can't wait to feel that 70's vibe. If I dress the bikes up in platforms and afro wigs will they stand a better chance of winning

Do whatever it takes Ash 


Gonna be a top line up in that section  with all those entrants so far

[Spen69]

I've got three 70's Geese but they're not 101% era correct so I'm not entering them in the S&S lads....

There will be a supply of Afro wigs and platform heels on display on the helipad on saturday with Ash's and my bikes and we might even bring some carpet to put them on so the carpet queen collectors feel at home

Then I'm racing my 1979 Suergoose on sunday

[kungfunky]

Got to be some nice fur rugs Spen and no ordinary carpet....actually thats given me an idea 

[Darren KAP]

   That looks the nuts Ash well done mate , you've missed a decal on the seat tube     

[kungfunky]

cheers pal, its there if you look close. Just the camera angle 

[brass monkey!]

[RoyalTrux]

Hey Ash, you should get that Honda brake lever Stu Always uses!

Not sure if it's this model:

Just bend and it and 

[kungfunky]

I've seen that one and its not the correct one but similar, He also used the Team Products levers but finding one of those is fooooking not going to happen any day soon.

[58 delray]

good to meet you at last mate, your bikes looked sweet in the flesh 

[Banachek BMX]

Nice

[Peter J]

Ash

What lever did he use ?

The bike looks even better in the flesh 

And your not a bad looking chap either 

 

[pickle]

Ash, loved both of your bikes!  they were both ones i really wanted to see over the weekend and they didn't dissapoint! 


loved the film on sat evening as well, the guy is a machine! 

[kungfunky]

Likewise guys, nice to finally meet all of you  top blokes indeed 

Your right Rob, Stu was a friggin racing machine and pretty much feared by everyone, apart from Greg and they had some seriously good battles.
Tried to get this framed to bring along but forgot    glad you liked the bikes 

[Peter J]

Ash

I think it may be a good Idea if I pop round your house with a van

















and a bottle of Chloroform, love the shirt
