So thats where i came from!! I opened the bag and the office phone rang, so i put it down to answer the call, and was rummaging around on my very very untidy desk and knocked the jiffy bag off, picked it up and took out the brakes, then about 10 mins later went to make a tea and theres a lolly pop on the floor, thought it was a bit strange!!!! Cheers fella, I'll give that a good seeing to on my way home from work, it'll stop me from smoking on the way home on the car!!!

yes mate, and cheers for the stickers too, this lil goose is going to look awesome, will start to plish the frame with some compound tonight, it'll shine like new by the time ive finished, cant wait to take him out on it, he's going to think hes the cats pyjamas on it

Ha ha - you may need to borrow a chainsaw to get through the bubble wrap Jaymz - sorry about that, but I hadn't got a box for it! Hope this works out ok as I have kept that frame for months refusing to throw it away as I knew that a project like this would come along eventually - I originally gave it to my mate's son but at MK last year got him a chrome Haro twin-top-tube Zippo so it's been going spare ever since

I would only use pledge to polish the frame Jaymz, I think I flashed over it with black spray to cover a couple of scratches bud, so you'll take it back off if you go too agressive

I never thought to send sweets to keep your sugar levels up trying to get it all unpacked and built out of random bits.......

Jaymz · « **Reply #106 on:** March 28, 2011, 11:42 AM »

it took a while to get into it spen XD there's now small polystyrene balls surrounding my desk

But im a keen recycler of packaging so its all been carefully removed tape removed and folded and put in the wrapping cupboard at work! Nothing goes to waste. Cheers fella

Spen69 · « **Reply #107 on:** March 28, 2011, 11:49 AM »

Good man - that's at least the second time all that bubble wrap has been used, so do your best to re-cycle it

It'll be winging its way north to lancs soon as i have a biketo send up to a member on RB, so it'll get used then, recycling FTW!! That bubble wrap will have seen more of the UK than me soon!!!

great stuff - wasn't me that sent the inner tube tho, just the bars

talking of recycling packaging - I got my haro bars from SBD in that boomerang pack and they've since been to yorkshire and back before I used the same box to send the mongoose bars to you. the packing tape must be over 10 layers thick in places

can't wait to see it built up!

It's a good job some of the more depraved members on here didn't help or you'd have to put "cave ya back doors in" on the sticker........

Jaymz · « **Reply #120 on:** March 29, 2011, 01:26 PM »

Do you think my postie [who happens to be a quite fit blonde lass] will have a giggle about how small his packet is then pickle?
