PRO LITE CRAIG CAMPBELL RIDER REP
« on: December 09, 2012, 02:46 PM »
O.k many of you will have seen this bike before in a different guise as it used to belong to Del.It was then sold to Kappy and I was lucky enough to be able to prise it away from him 3 months or so back.I had always admired the bike and wanted to buy it off Del originally but couldn't raise funds at the time.I have to admit this was my 'grail bike' and I originally intended to leave well alone as it was beautifully built.But,you know how it is!It didn't feel quite right buying a bike complete and I felt like I had to make it 'mine'.I originally thought to change the colourway a little and lose the blue anno'd pedals and chainring it had as I am not a fan of anno'd parts on freestyle bikes.I had always liked the look of the bike Craig was riding in the pic on page 1 of his interview in this section and thought it would be nice to do a 'loose' rep so i swapped the baby blue tuffs for lavender as there just happened to be a set about at the time,bought a lavender UNI pro seat and was fortunate enough to get some lavender bubble font ame tri's with the tuffs.But...following a conversation with Rich(Devilock) the decision was made to turn it into a full on rep which turned into 3 months sourcing the rest of the bits(why did i listen to him??!!)The parts which remain original are Frame and forks,bars,stem and tyres oh,and brake levers.Everything else has been changed in order to replicate the pic.I am chuffed with the finished article and think it is a fitting tribute to a great rider who had probably the greatest influence on my life back then.Special thanks to Del,Darren K.A.P,Steve(stevesredvxr),Mark(WINI),Gaz(poolysherriff),Steve Costa(GTNUMBER1)Foxy,DARREN WOOD,Stodgy,Jason(sweetbeats) and Rich(Devilock)Anyway enough waffle here are the pics,enjoy!

Firstly the pic which inspired the build



and for comparison..

Hope everyone likes,I bloomin love it!any comments good or bad welcome :daumenhoch:

now that is LUSH  :angel: seeing this makes we wanna build mine now ... BAD BRAIN.. BAD... IT MUST BE SOLD  :crazy2:

you can't tell from the pic but most riders at that time ran a rear on the front with the front brake inverted even without a Potts mod ... wonder if Craig's was like that.
