Open Plan crapper, and a table and chair opposite so your mates can drink beer and talk BMX to you whilst you're laying down a Nightwatchman

as you can see from decals it was recently used by the council as a kitchen, bathroom showroom for tenants so although all there not plumbed in yet so obviously bath going gunna need a serious water tank to run a bath so shower tray n partition wall there

Drink enough beer and you'll forget about the lack of plumbing

Picked up some bits from a top bloke down here.

The smoothest set of wheels I've ever owned

And something to put 'em on

If you look hard enough they are out there !

24 x 1.75 7x's

This is possibly the earliest known non Looptail Quadangle out there. One of around 50 made using 4130 tubing left over from the Looptail frames before they started using 531 Reynolds tubing and of that 50 less than 15 are known to exist. This is a November 1982 frame and the 10th non Looptail Quadangle ever made.

The dropouts have had zero work done except paint stripping, it looks NOS (but isn't).

After Dan worked his magic yesterday.

And a few bits I picked up from the Chromers:
VDC Expert Monkey Bars, rare Vector VC8 bars, Bottema Skatepark forks and 1st Gen Bullseye cranks:

Oh and these:

I need to throw out my dictionary, the definition of "Retired" is completely wrong.

Surprised this didn't get more interest on ebay .. it finished today with no bids at all. Messaged the guy after and just been to pick it up.
Original finish to everything on here and real nice condition it is too

Hoping it's as good as it looks

Another set of 7x copies from Australia, the same as the ones on the Patty, but £8 cheaper.

£42 posted from Oz, not to be sniffed at.

Sent while strangling Kojak from my iPhone

Take it apart, clean it up, put it back together, that will be one real nice survivor.

That's the plan. Tyre and Brake cable change, (white gumwalls, white cables) I *might* put some 48's or white OGK's on it
