Fabulous build. It's bikes like this that raise the bar time & time again & that can only be a good thing.

My own 1978 Quicksilver has become a frustrating pursuit of both knowledge, …. of the parts that were available when it was made, & the chasing down of correctly dated components.
In my case I need to factor in a fudge factor of the time lag between when the component was made & the time it would take to place it on the store shelf over here in Oz. so components need to be dated roughly four to six months earlier [or more] than the actual build date of my frame [October 1978]

I now have a great respect for those that have the patience & the resources to pull it off & this bike is just another inspiration to keep me going.
Loving it
I'll be building Quickies till the day I die, ..... & maybe a couple of days after that.

Awesome build  :4_17_5: out of interest do most of your bikes,parts etc come from US Ebay and the bmx Museum? cos I never ever see stuff like this in the UK?  ???
