The bmx iv always wanted build (ta xl)

[stidds]

Stidds- funny you should say that as i have a set of ally hub black tuffs for it and your points are all taken with a possitive vibe and your opinion is always taken onboard dude. thanks for being honest and i hope when its finished you may like it a tad more.

Deano, my points were definately meant to be positive dude, I forgot the smilies and that made my post look pushy and aggressive and I am sorry for that.  It really is one of the things that just annoy me, Skyways should always have Skyways simples.  But at the end of the day who gives a fook what I think, my Wife says I am full of sh*t

how about a nice set of matching decals for the post???. 

[Deano]

What do you mean? the seatpost decal?
All decals will be removed as im having some from del done as these ones dont stick down all the way and the clear part on the frame decals is clouded by im guessing them being done wet and a tad too soapy.
The new decals will be more a lighter bright blue like the headset decal and more like the grips/hubs/new nipples, rimtape,seat and brake when i find one.

 

Also Stidds, i know that mate and its something that gets to me also with texts and forums that you cant tell how its been said.  Iv been hanging around long enough to know what the banters like and im fairly easy going so take it all as possitive. Here for a good time not a long time is my moto

Come on now Deano, time to start getting some balls and sticking those stickers onto a dry frame, you have been here long enough to fook stickers up like the rest of us do 

[bobbysam]

Looks lush mate, looking forward to seeing it finished, top build

[meticulous]

Super nice F+F Deano 

[Darren Wood]

Deano lose those pro-class completely dude, in no universe should a race Skyway have any other wheels than black Skyways, I raced a lot bitd against Skyway sponsored riders and none of them had spokes.

I know they had Skyway graphites, but a set of black alloy hubbed skyways with black tyres screams Skyway racer.

Stidds there was only one FACTORY SKYWAY rider in your age class ................... And half way through the 84 season he rode with CHROME PROCLASS wheels ....... ME  

But i do agree TA"S look better with SKYWAYS on  


WOODY  .............. PS think there is a nice use of parts but i would change the bars ? if staying with spokes  very bling 

[stidds]

Woody. I never saw you using pro-class rims mate, but what do I know you were usually too far in front of me anyway. 

[Darren Wood]

Woody. I never saw you using pro-class rims mate, but what do I know you were usually too far in front of me anyway. 

not true ................ i had a two page interview / profile in racer and freestyler and they took pics of me on the bike with PROCLASS WHEELS on not good when your sponsored by SKYWAY

Didn't see that one, oops.  Did Skyway mention it to you after the interview?

[NORTY40]

Looking good that Deano my old mucka   

Can't wait to see it finished .

Made up you finally got your dream bike ...... albeit 25 years later   

[ron burgundy]

That frame looks in great nick.

Here's my old one...

[Deano]

Ok just for the record and so you all know i never fitted these decals its how it came. I always go dry on all my builds and have a serious ocd problem so no bubbles will be eting under my vinyl i promise you all 

Ill be getting the dx decal hopefully done in the same shade as the decal set once iv saved up enough funds.

Thanks Joff im buzzin about having it and should look nice with my streetbeat   

Ron thats tasty mate and iv got some blue sm mushies i was planning on using on my mk2 bars for riding.

Gatters and Matt cheers boys ill try hurry up n finish it.

Bobbysam and Metic too your comments are greatly recieved thanks guys

Darren you guys know whats right n wrong so if anything offends you im sorry and ill try make it worthy. I just want a nice ta that looks like it would have been raced bitd by any bmx racer not only by a team or sponsered rider. I did think about some straigh race bars but had these already. Iv mk2 chrome bars too for riding.
Iv not done loads of bike builds so everyday is a school day.

[Darren Wood]

Dean looks like it will be a CRACKING BUILD mate  look foward to seeing the finished bike

Awesome mate ! cant wait to see more pics ..... its such a nice feeling isnt it finally getting your dream bike .... I regretted selling mine in 87 to fund driving lessons and regretted it ever sine , finally like you have a FF now  .... feels like having an old friend back ! ....
Hoping you do get to ride it , thats were it really comes alive , its a great bike , load up some tuffs , find a nice old school friendly track ( there must be some left ?? ) and " Live the Dream ! "

 

[Deano]

Ah you too must be feeling the buzz right now  i will be visiting a few local tracks and ill upload pics when it happens.
Thanks for making me even more excited now I WANNA RIDE IT NOW

 
Will you be doing yours how it was bitd? any pics

[Deano]

Grip shot


Iv decided to strip the wheels down for rechrome after seeing the brake marks im not happy and the nipples have faded so im changing those to match the hubs. Might need a wheel builders service    as i havent a bubble what to do 

[Spen69]

Those wheels were lush bud, you're a loon - I thought you were going to take it for a roll round - you'll mark them straight away again

Plenty of threads about wheel building and if you're that fussy, you're gonna have to do it yourself as they'll get scratched at some point in the process and there's no fookin way anyone else should be building them for you for that very reason mate

Build them yourself then get your LBS to tension them up, but make sure you explain how much they cost and provide plenty of bubble wrap. My LBS has a good chuckle at the bubble-wrap mountain when I bring mine in, but at least he knows how hard this stuff is to come by.......

[stidds]

Deano, I will build your wheels if you want me to, just drop me a pm.

[Deano]

Sean that is a smashing offer and ill gladly give some coinage for it mate when there chromed ill pm you straight away.  Iv got black ally tuffs for riding this beast on, the pc rims are just for standing upright on.

Spen  you were saying  oh hang on Sean never said he wont scratch em 
If i was to try id no doubt ruine them within minutes. While were talking wheels mate ill send you that red mag next week if cool? Im in no hurry as there for my DP rider anyway.

Gutted i missed mk this year  i feel iv missed my high end bmx fix 

[pickle]

fooking poofs wheels!!!  you need some tank 48's like the ones i've just had built, fook me they weigh more than a whole bike!!   

    

[Deano]

  Pickle is that for riding?  Im only just over 9 stone and not the tallest of chaps  also ride like a poof
