I try to leave but they suck me back in. Lol alpachino is the don.
Just won a nos chrome 95 standard shorty on the bay. Looking for forks and strip bars. Also what sort of stem would be good for it ?dont think sbc made quill stems!!! Or did they ?

TNT will be bang on for that bert,i did have a bid but got 7 so backed off.

bmxbert · « **Reply #2 on:** May 11, 2012, 05:10 PM »

I was thinking a TNT stem. I really wanted a paintable lengthy but the frames are so hard to come by now days. I had a green one I got from mat Jenkins back in the day. It was my Fave bike along with a chrome taj I had now I got one of each

still need some forks if you know where any may be!!!!! I think you got em all lol

harris · « **Reply #3 on:** May 11, 2012, 05:14 PM »

they do come up mate,1" forks i have seen from £50 upwards,bars from £40 upwards.

Was watching this but Ive got too many builds on the go to be buying any more right now. Looks lovely. If I were building it Id put a DK inverted stem on it.

There's some 1" threaded Standard forks over at the Museum for $55 - they've had the drops opened to 14mm though - easy fix then rechrome/paint:

Auburn will ship to the UK as well.

That polished redneck looks a treat on one to. I was thinking chrome Castillo bars to. And I have some super pro rims just need a decent pair of hubs for em

harris · « **Reply #9 on:** May 11, 2012, 06:31 PM »

1" Standards are things dreams are made of.
Look forward to seeing it complete Bert as Harris's are stunning.

Love them mid-school standing platform frames.

so it went for £180 in the end, bet he was glad he didnt take my cheeky £70 buy it now offer

john4130 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 12, 2012, 10:25 AM »

i still have my 1" standard lengthy frame in my shed, top and downtube are cracked. i rode that bike for 10 years before it cracked, still got the receipt for it too. i have some 6 pc strip bars too but they are cut down about half inch either side.

bmxbert · « **Reply #14 on:** May 12, 2012, 10:29 AM »

Ten years is a good purchase I'd say. Are the bars for sale ?

Jaymz · « **Reply #15 on:** May 12, 2012, 10:32 AM »

i'll dig them out and get some pics for you.

bmxbert · « **Reply #17 on:** May 12, 2012, 11:10 AM »

Many thanks matey. I had a 1" sta with strips and forks and I sold it now I need the parts lol typical

john4130 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 12, 2012, 04:46 PM »

just remembered i also have a set of 1" gsport prong forks with a gsport nimrod stem all in black, forks need painting though. it's a 1" threadless setup and i also have a green rear gsport hub, still smooth but needs bolts. profile crank bolts fit them though. let me know if any of this would be any use to you and i'll dig them out tomorrow and get some pics.

If bmxbert doesn't want the hub I could be interested

and maybe the forks and stem depending what year they're from

now thats a nice frame

bmxbert · « **Reply #21 on:** May 12, 2012, 10:10 PM »

Sorry on my phone so messages on here are a pain. Please dig out anything you got I have loads of builds on the go. Them forks sound nice

cortone · « **Reply #22 on:** May 13, 2012, 07:38 AM »

Can I please put my name down just in case the other 2 guys pass up the forks & stem... muchos grassyass

harris · « **Reply #23 on:** May 13, 2012, 08:07 AM »

them forks and stem is kinda hard to come by nowadays,rare yes rare expensive not so sure but nice to match up to a gsport frame also not many about.

john4130 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 13, 2012, 05:56 PM »

finally dug out the parts from my shed. the bars have been cut down to 24" but the chrome is still really good, i also have a dia compe tech 99 l/h lever to fit the oversize bar. i had drilled a 10mm hole in the forks to fit my reaction megabrake as i didn't like the canti brake i used to use and the stem has 2 bolts missing but i just tried bolts from a dk stem which fit so shouldn't be hard to get hold off. i also have the top part of a 1"threadless headset so you could just use parts from any 1"headset to fit it. and the gsport hub just needs bolts but i've used profile bolts in the past which fit perfectly, i'm sure their 26tpi the same as a 3/8" axle.
