I thought Id share this with you before all my bikes get boxed up and put into storage while I move house.

I picked this up a little while ago from Dan as a semi complete bike. The frame was in great condition and in a colour I had never seen before however a lot of the parts were not what I had in mind for the build. I sold off most of the components and built it up to my own spec. Some fo the stuff I had already and then the rest of it came from helpful Rad members.

The theme with this build was to have a bike that would be the perfect miniramp and flatland bike back in 94. Im pretty happy with how it turned out but might make a few changes as and when other parts become available.

Spec is as follows:
Frame: 94 Hoffman Big Daddy in Nickel colour
Fork: 94 Hoffman Big Daddy Forks in Chrome
Bars: Hoffman Low Drag
Headset: Tioga
Stem: TNT inverted
Gyro: Odyssey Gyro II
Levers: Dia Compe Tech 77
Front Brake: Dia Compe 883
Rear Brake: Dia Compe AD990
Girps: ODI Longneck
Seat Clamp: Hutch
Seat Post: Chrome Strait
Seat: Primo Steroid Saddle
Cranks: GT 3 piece
Sprocket: Graveyard 43T
Pedals: GT DX Style
Chain: Chrome Izumi
Wheels: Peregrine Super Pro's
Tyres: NOS primo V Monsters (Not Repop's)
Pegs: Standard Bykes Grenades

Yea they were absolute ass breakers.

Lasted forever though which probably explains the lack of comfort haha.

Thanks Dan. I was so tempted to take that green one off of you when I saw that at yours, but Im glad I didnt now that I have this one. The frame looks like its hardly been ridden in its 19 years.

Absolutely mint build john. Your bikes are always lush. I think you are right to put the stickers on but if it were 94, they'd have been straight off.

Great work.
