The frame set in question is in fact Japanese built. I bought it a few years ago before my French fetish started.

From low end French to old school Japanese! You've definitely got my attention whether or not we're talking about bikes!

Have been on the look out for another lever for Project Q and finally snagged this one today!

I was looking for a decade but then this popped up. A cool French fancy in faded survivor condition.
Star Way Freemaster Formule Pro. Last major purchase for some time I reckon, I have no more room and too many builds on the go. I had to sell some nice parts to fund this. Easy come, easy go.

Nice one, good to know. I've seen your thread on here and the bike on the museum. Very cool and liked the seat post lever and front brake mod

Ok, so not strictly a BMX part, but BMX related and wanted to share...

Found an old BMX Action Bike centrefold in the loft the other day, and as it features one of my all-time fav riders I've decided to get a frame for it, which is what just arrived. Not the most Iconic image of dear old Neil (RIP you god-on-a-bike) but one I now plan to hang on the old office/cave wall now none the less.

Pure class Pete, they going on the Changa?!

Picklez · « **Reply #3491 on:** January 30, 2021, 11:40 AM »

Thanks Dammo, & yes there's a distinct possibility they'll end up on the Changa. And was my original thought/vision. But then I'm too damn lucky/fortunate in that I also have a sweet set of VDC woody's as well. So, plan to offer both up, get a feel, and probably canvas opinion. But ultimately I think these might win out, well till I change my mind 15 times

. Oh first world problems

So a few days ago I received a full refund on these. This is because they were shipped to an address in Texas USA, never to be seen again. I am gutted because they were the blue grips I wanted for my build. I will now go to plan b and use the pair in yellow that were shipped to my actual address in good ol' England !

Mikku · « **Reply #3493 on:** February 06, 2021, 02:23 PM »

Have just picked these up for Project Q! Nothing nice and shiny here!

This turned up today. NOS Hollow stem bolt to convert Hutch Deep H stems into freestyle.
Was posted from US in November and I was sure it was lost.
Just need to find a black Deep H now

Nice find, and glad it finally turned up for you. Been having similar issues with Stateside parts recently too.

Couple more bits for the GJS. You dont see many of these Magnesium clamps about. Not sure I can go through with opening the bag and mounting it $:-\$

I'm sure you don't need those grips

Great find, on both items. Cant wait to see that GJS. Your builds are always top drawer.
