Night Rider · « **on:** October 24, 2011, 02:24 AM »

Just thought I'd throw a few pics of my project up for yall.

From an 82 Cycle pro Catalog.

Collection of build parts so far

Bars, crank, stem and Arayas to be polished and annod gold, F&F to be powder coated metalic blue. Need some Cycle pro Snakebelly's (not a hope

)

Top of Sugino HP-UFO 'Cycle pro' stamped stem.

On the look out for Blue OGK Mach grips, but these will do for now.

Large flange front and rear Sunshine hubs to be annod gold.

Early no stripe May 82' Shot Gun II 'Cycle Pro' version saddle awaiting decals and red rail colouring (I want to trade this for a blue version)

Got this old catalog of the bay so I could scan it for the rear saddle decal

A glowing review from BMX Plus Magazine Aug 82

Oh and I need some Gold KKT Lightning pedals (like the tires no hope)
Cheers for havin a look.

Loving your homework Grant

going to be a belter. Keep an eye on the museum for the Snakies, they do come up. In fact, I'm pretty sure there was and early 80's Giant BMX on the bay recently with these tyres. I'll dig a link up, not sure if it sold

Them Cycle Pro decals on prism are awesome!

Got a few more goodies for the build. Finally got a Blue Shot Gun II but it hasn't arrived yet. But here's the rest.
An NOS 'Cycle Pro' headbadge.

A pair of 'Cycle Pro' packaged TTK pedals. Not KKT lightnings but the next best thing, These babies have hex bolts and not crappy rivets like 'Lightnings'.

An NOS pair of Blue O.G.K. MACH grips.

An NOS Suntour only £40.

Don't know why but I couldn't resist buying these NOS Cone spanners....I think I've got a Cycle Pro problem.
