tis a stunner

the guy says everything on the bike is/was NOS,that maybe true,but the cranks have been rechromed,the chainring polished to fook,and the stem bolts have been chromed too

Still a belter

baldbmxer · « **Reply #11 on:** October 24, 2011, 09:52 PM »

FFS

Only 5 ever made and your moaning about stem bolts

Someone actually own's one of the rarest Factory bikes of vintage BMX history

You don't appreciate it ?

Hang on a minute is it a replica

Theres no excuse for poishing stuff like that

Whether its a replica or the real deal its a nice looking bike but spoilt by details like polishing or chroming parts like that

5?? Erm..............."Only one of 4 known to exist" he says.

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #18 on:** October 24, 2011, 10:39 PM »

the 5th is a burner

hunterdubber · « **Reply #19 on:** October 24, 2011, 10:47 PM »

With 5 made out the factory

It's Surprising there's still 4 existing

You'd've thought at least 2 unknown wherabouts , 2 snapped framests and binned

Is this the FRAME AND FORKS that made $5000 a year or 2 ago ? $:-\$

The polished stuff could so easily be replaced for about the cost of £200 so it's irrelavent IMO

You are right JJ you just wouldn't put those bits on it

It's defo the best looking cruiser I have seen and apart from the over polished parts, which is not too much thankfully, it's worth every penny IMO

Good looking build well apart from the cheap looking chain and the chainwheel thats been abused

Does anyone think that the frame looks rechromed - the pic of the dropouts looks like show-chrome (whatever that is) not bog-standard T/A chrome? If this is the case, the chainwheel etc. would fit in perfectly. Still a beautiful frameset IMO.

The knurling (for want of a better word) on the dropouts doesn't look as crisp as some I've seen...

Couldn't be bothered to read the whole Museum thread...

Deano · « **Reply #22 on:** October 24, 2011, 11:16 PM »

I think its been re-chromed also and redecal'd with the standard pealing of the fork decal on the bottom. Well all being said im suprised its not getting more praise on here just for how rare it is. The word rare gets used far to mush in os bmx these days but this is a grail piece of history for me anyway.

Thanks for sharing the thread

I was once advised that a shotgun2 seat was not the best choice for a ta $:-\$

Crap!

Its an all to common fopaux what ever way you look at it!

If the frame had been painted black or pink it would be wrong as they never were never produced that way. So why is it Ok to refinish a chainwheel or stem hardwear in a finish that they never had BITD.

Thats customizing not restoration or building a replica.
