Hi,

Landed this Beat last week in Baby Blue but is it original paint?
Always thought they came in either green, white or orange (discounting the two-tones) ??
It looks like original paint and isn't thick like powder as the serial number is clearly visible.

Any thoughts?

Regards Steve

Never seen a baby blue one before Steve, but it looks stunning an I want one. Get it built.

I'm sure there was a load of these being sold a few years back in raw condition, IIRC VBMX used to have a street beat build comp for them.

Not original colour but lovely anyway

Who cares if it isn't an original colour.
I come from the side that says if it looks right then it is right.

And that certainly looks right. Now get it built mate!!

That looks bloody lovely

do a West Ham themed Beat Steve

Did Skyway do claret Tuffs?

Not sure a West Ham one would go down well living in the North of Manchester..........

Dont know if its original but it looks bloody lovely Steve,get some baby blue tuffs on there,and spend a lifetime looking for a baby blue hot seat!!

Real nice that mate and i know what you mean about selling a beat and regreting it as i did with my white one.
I still have one but thats not enough lol

Baby blue sure suits it perfectly

Looks good Steve

I reckon it is that NOS lavendar and white one you had but you finally stripped it

Good lad !!

Gatters · « **Reply #14 on:** March 18, 2012, 03:25 AM »

Very nice, I thought about selling my beat and am glad I never did they really are an awsome bike.

Looking forward to seeing this one built up mate

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #15 on:** March 18, 2012, 07:33 AM »

Joff, what do you take me for........I would never strip a NOS, brand new, untouched Streetbeat.

I still have my white Beat. The first bike I ever restored after finding BMX again.
Love em.

Just needed another again.

I have a white hot seat ready for this one deeman. If a baby blue one appears it WILL be mine!!!

Cheers for comments, Steve

Looking at the pictures again, it looks like the crown race isn't fitted right......there shouldn't be that gap at the bottom

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #17 on:** March 18, 2012, 09:15 AM »

Yeah Rob, it came like that.

I think the headset is just loosely fitted. I will sort it when I come to building it.

Now if only I hadn't sold my Skyway Powerdisc and Skyway Stem.

pickle · « **Reply #18 on:** March 18, 2012, 09:44 AM »

sorry mate

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #19 on:** March 18, 2012, 09:51 AM »

Ha I didn't expect you would for a minute!!!! Enjoy.

I'm sure Vert-ego sold a few Baby Blue StreetBeat's a few years back. Could have been one of theirs. $:-\$ Actually, Just had a quick look on their website and they have them listed, but Sold Out.

PS. Does look tasty with that paint job.

Glynnyboy · « **Reply #21 on:** March 19, 2012, 09:25 AM »

Got to admit i didn't think much of them when i saw them on the site but seeing that with the decals has changed my mind.
Looking forward to seeing this built up now.
