My Kuwahara Nova
« on: May 18, 2012, 02:33 PM »
my first proper BMX.

so i thought i'd build one, just like the one i had as a kid.

its taken me a while to source the right bits, and i'd like to thank wardy, dordymush, madrok and gashead specifically for finding and providing some of the bits i really needed, and the kapster, for providing the prep and paint for this all important job. Thanks guys.

i'd like to thank my bro, for allowing me to store all my old school shit with him, and for his time, and constant lack of support for my projects. I love you fookface.

with the exception of the seatpost in these pics, which is yet to arrive ( an unstamped nitto) its how it was.

some background pics also, of that fateful christmas day way back when....

the advert that started it all...



emerging from its box...with mums assistance....



me and diggler building them...



diggler on his...



the finished article....



and some of the kuwies together....



p.s nick, pull your fooking finger out...your the only missing link with the seatpost!!
