1 INCH HOLMES RESTORED AND FINISHED
« on: October 04, 2012, 05:59 PM »
bought this a few weeks back after kaner put me intouch with his mate near barr beacon (thanks ben  :daumenhoch:)
anyway she was a bit rough round the edges as can been seen in the pics but all solid and complete with mini burner seat  :crazy2:
stripped it down as i wanted it a different colour from black.so out came the sand paper and rattle cans and got stuck in.
anyway here it is.not the best pics off the iphone so will get some better when the sun comes out as the yella proper blinds ya  8).

before as i got it.











1" holmes frame
dominatrix 1" ditchforks
slam bars
jive tentacles grips
dc tech 77 lever
dc 990 brake
gt mallet stem
gt profile cranks with profile whippit sprocket
primo pedals
sunn rims built with gt mohawk hubs
primo v monster tyres (not repops)
shimano freewheel
s&m shield seat
primo rod seat post
gt seat clamp
kmc big fook off heavy mo fo chain  :crazy2:
tange head set
s&m pads

i was almost scared to put this on here now joes back  :'(  ;D
all the bits i took off and never used will be put to good use on other builds.
and nosepickbens sorted me a front gsport hub to match the back one that came with the bike.so might rebuild the wheels with them in.
so thats another one done.
warpigs on the way  ;)

Bike looks mint compared to when you got it.   8)

The GT stem would look nice with the GT emblem exposed to fit in with the yellow/siver/black theme.  I normally use a bit of electricians tape to mask the stem then hit the raised GT section with some wet and dry.   :daumenhoch:

i was gonna leave it as it was and ride it as i like survivor old school bikes.
but i got a new gen dirt bike that i built as a rider/cruise bike.
if it had been in a bit better shape i'd have left it as was.but seeing as its sat in the front room her in doors would have gone on about it  :-[.
gonna have a go at the gt stem now like you said  :daumenhoch:
