After deciding post MK that every build that I needed to build was done and that I needed to thin my collection down, up pops a frame that I have been after for a decade, it finally appeared. So I had to buy it.

So rare that I have only ever seen one in a magazine test back in 1982 and never since.

It is a Scorpion Super Team, I have a Scorpion TX already, but this frame was designed by Byron Friday and Bobby Encinas so it is a class piece of kit.

I cannot wait to get it, so excited.

Thanks Dave. Unfortunately they're both 2.125's. I bought an orphan tyre on ebay the other week as it was a great price (£18), and i thought it would come in handy. Good job i did, as the 1.75 rear tyre fell to pieces as i was taking it off the rim this afternoon. The tread was pretty worn anyway, so no great loss. I gave these two tyres a good scrub this afternoon and they came out great. A smearing in vaseline and a good spray with tyre shine should give them a new lease of life

Full resto on this Andy, or survivor look?

You know Andy, Dan .. It'll be a show and shine best 'street' winner in time for MK16!

Just landed my first Hutch

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HUTCH-Pro-Racer-FRAME-ONLY-Made-In-USA-Pre-Serial-Black-Old-School-BMX-NO-FORK-/381472968033?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=CtaPQ%252BoqlqjRcju2dyxiCI%252F8qLg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I usually upset the accepted convention with my build/resto approach to things, this won't be any different for the purists, will be a 'street' imspired build and will be my rider for 16.

Anyone be interested in the bars? I won't be using them.

My old riot frame brought up by my aunt after I stored it in her loft for 10 years. She had a clear out and threw some stuff out then told me that she at least thought it was a frame, I was sooo glad to see it!!!
