Never even heard of it mate.

Would go nice on a FBM lol. Fat bald men and hard dads

The stem arrived today and it is sweet.I asked the seller if he had any info on the brand and he messaged back straight away

Hard Dad Products is/was a UK brand owned by Northern John. There were possibly some other parts other than the stem produced by the brand.

The seller said I could find him on instagram and I did. He has some great shots of himself bitd doing all sorts of craziness.

I've been a naughty boy

Once again I bought a stupendous amount of money on holiday and with all the riding (pics when I return) I spent 0. I'm going home Friday morning and don't have anything expensive planned so I went a little nuts. Oops

Can't do the pics on this phone so you'll have to wait til Friday.

S&M NBD. Considering freshly imported S&M frames are now 610 quid I felt lucky at 360 ffs. Didn't need much, as I have all of the rest. Got this for a tenner as Source were doing a special on headsets and BBs when you buy a frame.

Pedals were a fiver.

Will be using the Eclat Onyx cranks I had on the CW. Got a home made Graveyard 28t, have a nice long pivotal and this I got last week.

YBN for 7 quid.

Got this on Seventies for 35. Oval rim RANT with a sealed female.

Sticker sheet for 2 quid on CR

These for when I get a back wheel.

And another pair. They are amazing !

Going to use the Fit TA tyres etc. Like I said, I have everything else. Front end is going to be this in satin black.

Really wasn't up for restoring another frame.

Very Nice Stash

After riding Monday I needed Tuesday to recover. Everything was hurting, knees, back the lot. Today though I felt fine. How that will translate tomorrow I have no idea, but these painkillers I am on are deffo working. I also really like the stupid fat tyres too. Take so much impact out of riding.

I hardly ever buy new frames. In fact, I think of everything I own only the Kizz was actually new. I'd have hated to have left those Onyx cranks just sitting there tbh. And the rest of it really. Deffo need higher bars though. Those Volumes are well over 9", so should make it awesome to ride.

Those UGP are incredible. I forgot what huge baggy trousers meant in terms of comfort. So I got another pair. I'm already walking on the bottom of the legs (as was the tradition

) so I need a pair for best.

I have literally just paid for these grips after the seller confirmed they are for 22.2 diameter bars. Decent shape Lizard Skins logo grips. I can remember these grips but not sure how far back that was. Any ideas, 90's, 2000's or more recent? My memory isn't the best

Midschoolfool · « **Reply #3708 on:** September 30, 2022, 05:07 PM »

They're going to be a lot of work but will be well worth it. Came with two new decals too.

Fly Lunar on a BSD Westcoaster Freecoaster. Always wanted one. I will let you know how much I like it when I crack my head open

Have had to custom order these.

They were on a Williams F1 car in the 90s on the sides of the spoiler. Sadly all of the sizes were too big, so he is going to do me two smaller ones that can go on the fork.

Gonna look cool on those blades

Demolition Medial V3. These also came in white, so I am going to restore them in white.

So I'm sitting at home as sick as a dog with Covid, so a little bmx related retail therapy was in order. This might end up on my Carraro build

Midschoolfool · « **Reply #3714 on:** October 19, 2022, 03:57 PM »

Oh fook man. I wondered why you were so quiet

Get well soon dude. My brother has it at the moment too.

Chilli Rinse · « **Reply #3715 on:** October 19, 2022, 04:11 PM »

Cheers dude, yes I missed a lot of progress on your build. I only started to feel half human again today. Fitted tyres to a set of wheels earlier and was feeling like crap again right after. Not a wise move.

Oh I am the same way dude. I can never rest up when I am sick, which just makes it ten times worse.

Case in point the freecoaster axle needed more force than even I am comfortable with to release the lock nut. I totally destroyed my bad shoulder, then laid in bed for five hours wanting to burst into tears

But yeah, doing things when you are extra sweaty and a bit dizzy has never been fun.

This little bundle is on its way from France. I am hoping it turns out to be a Motobecane mx200 with og matt black finish. The frame, forks and saddle are from the same bike, so it is very likely it is what I think it is. If it has been refinished it is most likely a mx200 c which had a chrome finish and some blue parts. It is tatty and it looks like there is chrome peeking through the missing paint. I will have a better idea of what is actually is when it arrives. Nothing special but my kind of cool.
The sprocket was just bought from bankrupt bike parts and is identical to the one on the early mx200 in a 1984 publication. The same sprocket was apparently found on the Mongoose Grand Prix, which had the same Motobecane frame as mine with model code 141400 on the bb shell.

I am sorely tempted. That's absolutely GORGEOUS. It's also extremely cheap, even with shipping and import duty. Around ?150 all in.

Ebay link not working. No idea why.

Edit. Ah the forum is breaking it. Try here, then follow the link.

Do it, that would be a cracking build

Yeah, that's not bad at all. Love the colour too!

Got a box of goodies from the States today.

I passed on the FF. Ever since I got home from holiday I seem to be getting nut kicked from everywhere. First the nightmare with the TV cabinet, then one of my PC's graphics cards died. Which is never a cheap endeavour.

Plus I just want to get my T1 Ruben done next year. Adding more would put me at the point I was at a couple months back.

So, it's back over to you guys

Landed some nice Tuffs off eBay today. Want to take my 81 /2 coaster Tuff burner back to one my favourite pics of when I used it for freestyle! Got a few more parts to source no rush , but I'll keep searching for the parts. The first pic is the eBay pic, hope the seller doesn't mind. SDF.

I have just paid for a nice Demolition seat which will be used on my FA Hellcat in the new year (eventually). I have been thinking about buying it since I saw it on eBay, I love the Demolition bomb logo and it will work well with the look of the Hellcat.
