My First Build - '82 Fuji MX 500...
« on: December 05, 2011, 12:25 PM »
Here is my first custom build.

Frame + Forks - '82 Fuji MX500
Mags - 70's Unknown
Tires - NOS 70's Orbit Motocross
Crank - NOS '79 Ashtabula
Pedals - NOS 70's RatTraps
Chainring - NOS 70's Schwinn 'Sweetheart' Phantom
Stem - Chromed Double Clamp
Bars - NOS '79 Grifter
Grips - NOS Oury
Padset - NOS Flites
Set Clamp - Odyssey GI
Seat Post - Generic
Seat - NOS Strada 'Ross'

It started life as a £20 second hand bike shop bargain frame and forks...



...which i had powder coated gloss black...



...then aquired a bunch of parts...



...cleaned up the rims...



...and then finally after getting the rest of the bits, full assembly time...







Cheers for looking guys.

@ Norty, cheers dude. A 70's looker was the idea until i could a get ride from the 70's (which i now have and will be posted up next).

@ Frosty, thanks man. As to Lesters, i don't know as there are no makers marks on the rims that i can see.

Regards...Steve :daumenhoch:

I think my first (2nd hand) BMX may have been a Schauff.....It certainly had drum brakes and metal wheels....  :coolsmiley:
