Happy new year radsters

Well I picked up the frame, forks, bars and a few bits last March11 (I did a previous post around then) but then progress or rather a loss of interest and parts stalled it's completion, that was until recently, having looked at the museum rides and BOTY, so during this week I got everything together and with daily resto and application, completed the build last night.

Most difficult item was finshing the rear brake set up from the spintech but using the net, looking at builds in the bmx museum and on here, a eureka moment occured lol! Anyway ive found my build mojo again and thoroughly enjoyed the last week.

Parts:
Mongoose Decade components as per bitd:
Frame and forks, seat post, seat clamp, dynamax seat, sakae spintech, 6 spoke oe skyways, spinner pegs, spyder, 880 front, 750 rear, i did have a set of original decals but Del the Master recreated them

Non spec: lavender sharp boot, Oddy barefeet, tech 77s, ame grips, kkt pedals, tioga cd, dice caps, dyno bars

Total build cost £280-£300

Colour: Lavender Blue

(kinda changes based upon light)

Thanks for looking, comments more than welcome, good, bad things you would alter etc.

Paul

Gorgeous bike there!

Reminds me of my Decade Pro that was my favourite ever bike until some local scum nicked it!

How did you manage to do it for so cheap!
