Grabbed a 22mm BB set. Was 12 quid shipped.

Been up stripping parts today. Got half of them. F-IT is next. Pork should be here tomorrow.

A MaxFlo fork? A copy Max ? and a bag with a round ring in it? At the very least give a story, something, anything.

Picklez · « **Reply #3603 on:** April 07, 2022, 09:06 PM »

Yeah, May 83 Tange Max Flows and a rear DC cable inner. Forks are short-term subs for a JMC frame, till some legit forks turn up for less that 1k.

I've been waiting for a half decent SR spider to pop up at an acceptable price for a while now. This will be used with a SR opc and fitted on my Blue Max. The blue leather Selle Turbo (previous page) has already been fitted for a bit more comfort. I'm going to swap the tyres out too, something a little more classy

These turned up for my Vincent, been waiting ages to get OG ones, and get rid of the blue reproduction ones, I hate the reflector holes😃

JUst having their Wd40 bath.

Thanks, just got to clean off a bit of brake rub, and I'm on it👊🏻👊🏻Steve.

Nice. I would have dremeled off the reflector bits. They're fugly AF.

Lavender are sweet though. One of my faves.

The blue ones are the ones with a drilled hole in the wheel for reflectors. They make a good stand in, but the hole always bugged me😅

Love a bit of Landar, it was in all the LBS BITD. Been thinking about starting a little collection myself.

I have no room but this popped up and I have another French made bike on the way. She was listed as a Luis Ocana MBK, I think she was built by a French company called SIFEM. They built most of the Luis Ocana branded bikes. The pad has their branding on too. Quite cool and I'm liking the blue Weinmann's on her. Comes with some nice SX pedals , DC levers and look at the size of the bars. Another odd one for the collection. The gusset is identical to the one on my Bernard Dangre frame.

Midschoolfool · « **Reply #3615 on:** May 05, 2022, 02:06 PM »

Any one on here snag those very reasonably priced Nudie Bars?

SDF · « **Reply #3616 on:** May 05, 2022, 04:43 PM »

Some lovely black Sharps, and Faze seven Rolling stock bars restored. I was a bit shocked to see tubing clamp marks when they were stripped. Faze 7 must have skimmed a tiny drop of body filler back in the day😄

😀 I?d like the think so, but my freestyle colour options let me down.

May get told off for posting in the BMX Chat section, but a bit happy with this one, and still coming down off the ceiling. New toy!

This caught my eye too. Cool looking frame set for sure

Nice pick up. You found any vintage ads or tests for it?

Looks like lots of stock parts. Even the tyres look in decent shape.
I think they're OG French Wolber tyres

A Nice pair of CW freestyle bars landed??
They look similar to MK2 Burner bars, are mine legit?

I've started a thread on the Tech and Restoration section Paul, check it out. Yeah it has nice Wolber tyres in great condition and some stock parts I reckon with a few nice upgrades. I cannot find any info except for another SIFEM made bike , it has the same style dropouts but no gusset. I think it's a year or too later than mine and it's a loopy. Here's a few pics of what I found.

Don't quote me on it but I think I remember finding out that the knurling is a solid diamond pattern on the CW's. Others will be able to confirm if that is right or wrong Steve. You would probably expect some nicer welds on the CW's too I'm guessing.
Looking good whatever they are
