Funnily enough I had never seen a Haro or SE Racing bike in the flesh until my return last year, and I had never even heard of Robinson or Torker!  

I am convinced of the regionality of brands BITD; must have been a result of where the agent / importer was based.

where did you get them champion decals from?

Hahahaha! That would be telling! 

 

Our very own Decal magician Del made them up for me from an old one I peeled off the bike pre powering.

Thanks mate 

I agreed a 2 year exclusivity deal with Del, though, mate; you will need to pay me Royalties!

Just awaiting some DC Cable Clips (the Top Tube is fatter than the usual 1") and some Stainless Steel Cap Heads for the Stem.  

Fooking lush to ride, if a mote heavier than my other love, my DB Pro Large.  

Can't wait to to roll her around Wigan and scratch her!  

The love has seriously been found this Spring and Summer as I dumped all the stuff I bought when I was noobing and focused on a build that took me back to the day.

Right..... what's next?

Finally, I need to big up the real heroes of this build; Olympic Gold for each and every one!
