Cheers John re the ebay link, ordered and received today

You guys are ace for helping out, also to Mr Costa for pics of rear brake set up

Talking of brakes, set up the 880 the weekend, first time i've done a potts mod type cabling and it fookin works, took me time no drama queen stuff!! Note the fork decals will be changed for originals.

Ok have a couple of choices to make, use original components that have some small signs of wear, or go nos minty items?:

1) Seat clamp: original donut or minty tioga quick release?

2) Seat: absolute minty Dominator or original dynamax which has dinks, scars which i've tried to smooth out but not perfect despite pic?

seriously lovin this build, aint bmx great

Paul

Cheers Christian, gotta add an extra £2.50 for the cable hanger/brackets

To be fair, whats driven the cost down was the ebay sale which was a buy it now for £150, including the 2 seats and seat clamps shown above. The seller had sourced parts from the states and knew the price of stuff so was well aware what the scene is like, but was getting out of oldskool and wasn't interested in selling at inflated prices.

Think he wanted it to go to a good home to complete than strip down and re-sell. Just got lucky i suppose, i felt a bit sorry in a way so gave the guy a bit more dosh. I've had some parts knocking around purchased before boom time which has helped......and Im public sector so can't spend loads!!

loving this build Paul! personally i'd go for the donut clamp as i'm not keen on the quick release thing. seat? i'd go for the dominator but i'm not sure what they came with $:-\$

Lovely bike, swap the tyres round though as every set of barefeet I've seen fitted or had on my bikes has had the feet prints facing so they leave the correct print on the floor.

Nice Goose but I LOVE that Street Beat!!

pickle · « **Reply #35 on:** February 17, 2011, 09:14 AM »

yeah they're both beauties!

gotta love a street beat

would love another one

one thing though Wadz, that gyro looks like the plate is in the wrong place on the headset.......the black plate should be put on before the headset cups get pushed into the frame.
