Great, NOW you come in with somewhere to get them!  :LolLolLolLol:

I had a bent lever on another bike which didnt really need it so it all worked out anyway

I got a bit more done to this bike.

I swapped over the profile cranks for a One Piece Crank, and put some 1/2" GT pedals I had. O.P.C seemed much better on this bike, and they actually hold the chainring tigher (cos it bolts to the crank in the middle) so were better when using a grind disk.

Ive got a different front wheel i want to use but i need to get the spindle free'ed up. Then it'll be all done.

I LOVE this bike, it looks so much like an early 90's bike, it just goes so well, I think my next bike will be an old s&m now. Also, if you wanna get rid of a sprocket pocket let me know! :daumenhoch:

One of the cool things about this bike is its an early mk 2, brakeless dirtbike, but its the same as my second S&M. Same colour (well, mine was lighter but still purple) same decal set, same frame. Just what i was after. I always ran (run) a dialed setup with 2 working brakes and stiff wheels but I used to ride with loads of people who had bikes similar to this. Loads of fun.

Im very tempted to take it down the local Ledge-etarian skatepark and have a few sproket pocket grinds but they wear down pretty fast  :-[

You should take it down the skatepark :) out of interest how much would a sprocket pocket cost? :daumenhoch:

Very hard to say, I dont think they come up often. I have the one on this bike, a black one still in the packet, and a used white one  :shocked:

Im changing the front wheel .... to another black tuff  ;).
This one is a bit new and clean. Ive got another that is messier (and ally hub'ed). Much better

Some say I keep way to much junk  :crazy2:

The 4 spoke sprocket pocket is one i made out of a chopping board. If you look close you can see the flight ring that's drilled to take it
