Well guys, this is not going to be built to factory spec, far from it. It is chrome and was powdered over the top. Powder was removed and the f+f polished

It's not 100% percent but I'm not worried as I will be riding the shit out of it

I will be building it in the 2 old school anno colours of Red and Gold (and some polished parts too, all my spare junk and more

)

I have now fitted the old Tange headset from my Haro and Tange locking nut. Pics will be added as we go along so any input is cool

Cable runs through the potts mod, down the forks tube and out the left fork for a front freestyle caliper

Polished and Headset fitted

Eastern gold anno BB and MX gold anno clamp fitted

NOS gold anno Sugino 40T chainring, Sugino Spider and near mint Sugino bolt set plus twin bolt Redline 180's fitted

(Ignore the Skyway guys, got something special for this

)

Dia Compe 750 rear caliper (re-issue but hey, the only difference is the retaining nuts are allen key bolts, and the date) for under the frame fitment fitted

I got these babies for it

Got to strip down, clean the rims, polish the sweet looking HF ACS gold anno hubs and re-lace with some S/Steel double butted HKS spokes

Original Elina UL chequered layback post and red Elina Flyte Tech fitted

Put the red Skyways on for now dudes as it looked pants with balck

and my B E A U T I F U L ACS 55 slant turned up today

And NOS gold ACS seatclamp replaced the MX gold clamp

Think i'm going to run it without a rotor though

Bars are down the postie's as the nooby from the states didn't post it like I asked so it has acrued a fookin' customs charge of £8

Without the rotor

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #7 on:** August 08, 2011, 07:50 PM »

Pretzel's collected, polished and fitted with SM mushy's

Today guys, I have fitted a polished NOS Dia Compe Tech 6 locking lever with red Sharp lever cover for the back brake and a Gold KMC chain. I was going to fit my NOS Red and Chrome Izumi but have decided to save that for my Dp re-furb, Hmmm...........and Gold Shimano SX peds. Still hunting for decals from the states

I have also fitted some yellow dice valve caps

and a yellow savage cable and yellow Eagle II pads are in the post

Not sure if I will fit a front setup yet, I will see when the rest is done $:-\$

Pics now added, hope you like

What ya reckon so far guys ??

Looking sweet Tel, despite my earlier reservations

Jaymz · « **Reply #12 on:** August 08, 2011, 07:59 PM »

Its crazy looking, i like, but i think you should go for a front brake set up as well as its a freestyler

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #13 on:** August 08, 2011, 08:05 PM »

Yer I know dude but it looks cool with just the one setup

I got the matching lever, Sharp lever cover, yellow savage cable and Mr Spen is sending me a polished 880 caliper for the front and a gold Tange Headlock

Eagle II's in the post (2 sets)

Love it Terry, red and gold looks ace on a chrome bike

Polished 880 and the gold headlock are gonna lok the bollox on it bro - I'll get them to you once I've swapped all the bolts over to make sure it's a minter buddy

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #16 on:** August 17, 2011, 02:16 PM »

Thanx to a trade off with the Spenster, front polished 880, gold Tange headlock, DC polished Tech 6 with red lever cover and yellow savage cable now fitted to the front (and fook me guys, running that cable through the fork was fookin' hard work

)

Hope you all like and you will get to see it on the 4th Sept

Jaymz · « **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2011, 02:51 PM »

Thanks guys

Appreciated

Just wish I could get hold of some decals for it

Taipan · « **Reply #22 on:** August 18, 2011, 11:08 AM »

I think it needs some f+f decals? do you know what they look like? like it tho

curtispro · « **Reply #23 on:** August 18, 2011, 11:26 AM »

Looking very nice and very different Terry, I will have a closer look on the 4th and just hope the sun is shining

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #24 on:** August 18, 2011, 11:47 AM »

Yer, I know what the decals look like and I have been trying to get hold of some through the Museum but to no avail

They seem to be very ellusive

I have even put in a request to get someone to take a set off and I will get them reproduced and supply them with a couple of sets

Oh well, the search goes on $:-\$
