Chris, that's fookin mint

Did Del do the decals as my brother bought a Piranah of BW a few weeks back and has a garage full of crap as well as good bits, so he'll b needing a set of decals soon

Bring it to Blackpool next time bud and let's take it off the jump-box

I had a white piranha in the early 90's looks like yours but didnt have a gusset and had aero zytec mags on it.

I'm really liking that, good work on keeping it as per the spec

Jon The Bassist · « **Reply #36 on:** March 04, 2011, 03:21 PM »

Dubber, keeping it real with bikes people owned and rode BiTD

I'd like to see Prismatic decals make a comeback.

xGoose · « **Reply #37 on:** March 04, 2011, 03:29 PM »

Nice one Chris!

Those decals take me right back in time, I'm sure I used to have a load of those prism BMX ones bitd.

trasher · « **Reply #38 on:** March 04, 2011, 06:07 PM »

Liking that Mr Dubber

Question is ........ have you enjoyed building this lower end/budget build as much as one of your 'bling' bikes

well done keep this original one of my earliest memories of bmx this must be 1981/2 my mate had a white one that had cobra grips
remember the union jack sticker thats i think why it stays with me

Me and Cotty (thanks Cotty ,,for sourcing the frame ) were talking about these saying they used to have them for hireing at Southport track /pier BITD and they were Black and yellow with the Cobra grips ,,,thats why this Piranha had to have Yellow Fuan Cobras
now im really pushin my mind back but if remember correctly im sure it had metal mag wheels but im not 100% $:-\$

Yeah Rick they did them with either the metal cast Banana mags or Aero Zytec mags with the sealed bearing hubs

the first ones had thin 5 spoke ally mgss

hunterdubber · « **Reply #41 on:** March 04, 2011, 09:31 PM »

I forgot when replying Andy

you and Bob are of course correct the thin 5 spoked cast mags

You see them in the early Advert and I think KDW kev's had em on his

I'll try and find a pic

Matt

If it had aero tubing it would have been the Piranha XL , Matt

Probably a decent sized bike I expect at least 19 or more toptube

,, as I was surprised this standard Piranha frameset is Pro size 18.5 and not 17" ish as you'd expect

believe it or not these early thin spoke piranhas mags were swapped for coaster brake moto mags bitd so that people could get rid of the coaster, i know of at least 4 bikes/riders that did tise bitd. the piranhas normaly gained steel rims for some reason
