After a morning at Rad shop, built my baby up:

Gone totally new school with it, nothing retro at all:

Custom made Proper Hubs (thanks Stodge for sorting that) and Demolition aero rims with blue nipples

Proper stem and LDC lever

Proper chainring and DMR vault pedals

LDC caliper

I love it, rides like silk and gearing is perfect.

Did the LDC lever come from the Radshop?

Nice build. I like the wheelset, not sure on the bigger bars though.

No, bought them from Ultimate BMX.

Still got a few tweaks to do to it now that i have got it home

I have to say it is such a well balanced bike, would win a slow bicycle race on this so easily.

Jim...are Ultimate U.K based?

Betty · « **Reply #12 on:** October 13, 2012, 06:43 PM »

Nice but the bars look too tall for a cruiser $:-\$

Great to see one without tupperware wheels

What's wrong with the seat position?

Looks alright to me

Had you got out of bed earlier and got to the shop at a reasonable time Pete you could have had a go.

Good to see you mate, albeit very briefly.

Thanks again to all at the Radshop
