JMC DY/AP

[hunterdubber]

It wasn't until I saw one of these  framesets in the flesh  that I realised their class and would one day have to have one  

From looking in mags when I was a kid and then getting  into O/S I completed most of the grail bikes I set out to do and more .

But because I wasn't racer back then, the Darrell Young wasn't at the top of my to do list ,

 however a good few old mates ,who were racers held these at the very top of the must have bikes  

Since seeing them up close and studying their detail , I realised how fantastic they really are .

Influences from Hutch , GT, T/A, Quad, Bottema  

The oversized downtube   the straight through top tube (with JMC sheild stamping)  

Cranked widening seat stays down to great sweeping looptail with big dropouts  

and to top it all this set up came with an AWESOME upgrade a  pair of  rarer Andy Patterson Forks  

Tear drop tubing   straight through Bottema-esque with a bologna slash cut like LG;s

This frameset takes the best bits off other beautiful framesets and brings them altogether  


This is the first incarnation of this build and I will ventually re post a revised build later in the year

Darryl Young and Andy Patterson actually rode with a 1st gen DK pro XL stem and I have one on it's way from the States

Not sure whether to fit this with a set of NOS MKS GrafightX  I have to go with the Graphite Tuffs

Not sure whether to go Candy red frame and re chrome the AP forks or chrome frame  

Black 2nd gen frame pads too  


but here it is current spec  


1985 JMC Darryl Young frame
1985 JMC Andy patterson forks
JMC Darryl Young bars
NOS Bubble font A'me round grips
Original Hutch Deep H stem ( to be replaced with 2nd gen stamped square edged DK Pro XL stem)

Original Brown bearing Hutch beartrap pedals

Dia compe MX 900 with  DC MX123 lever and 1985 stamped DC cable

Stunning!
Without a doubt......
 

[Jaymz]

Awesome, I really like the colour it is now

[Kaner]

Christian that is one sweet build.

Those forks are just sex, the most awesome forks ever, nicer than Bottema even. Just fabulous.  The Frame and large JMC DY bars are brilliant. Good to see some different tyres as well.

If you were going to change it I was to vote for Candy Red and Chrome forks and would like to see what it looks like on spokes too.

Fookin Lovely.

[steve69]

That's a fast looking ride  

and yes they are one of the best looking forks made for sure



(candy blue would be nice  )

[CustardLips]

That's real nice. 

[willo73]

That is stunning   

[kungfunky]

As always with your builds Chris they are TOP NOTCH and this is no exception. Class all the way buddy  

Is that a standard colour ? it looks fantastic  

[(((sonic)))]

Beautiful Christian, simply stunning

Stinks of class.....

Have you thought about running a browning two speed? Only reason I ask is that I see a few being built with the browning lately.....

You've gotta love JMC,  that looks great but spokes would improve it IMHO.

Yeah Darryl Young used to run a Browning set up  

Seen here two speed chainring and rear shifter  





I have actually had the pleasure of riding  a Browning  on a Maximum Pro belonging to Andy Bigplinky , it was dialled and rode amazing  


Originally I was going to go more DY  style at first  with the spokes , but because of the AP twist went for graphite Tuffs , I here you MattSky but I think it looks good a little different than the crowd this time round .

Who knows , by the time I've re done it I may change for Sherrif record C's on 7L's ( the hubs were produced 1985 to 1991 which means they'd just about go on this build  era correct )

If I get that set up it'll be the best of both worlds 


Thanks for the kind words Radlads  

[hunterdubber]

I had most of the bits before I even thought I was getting the frameset

but I saw  another with the same cranks and in Candy red  and rolling on Graphs


That sealed it for me

[Devilock]

Very nice indeed Chris...

I like the decision to use Tuffs due to the AP forks.

Dont think Ive seen those seats before!    

 

[dordymush]

i know there rare and lovely cranks..............but i dont like em on this for some reason.
the rest of its  .
i like the silver. makes a change 

[scary_leary]

That looks spot on Chris.. 

[stu27]

stunning christian
cracking build

It wasn't until I saw one of these  framesets in the flesh  that I realised their class and would one day have to have one 

FROM LOOKING IN MAGS WHEN I WAS A KID

what type of mags??

[hunterdubber]

Thanks for the comments  

No worries Davey man   , again everything on the bike is race orientated ( hence the graphs , Skyway race team spec )

The Bullseyes are on instead of flights or profiles ,I love em and not seen on every other build

,but  actually Darryl Young himself rode a one piece Takagi on alot of early pics   ,  JJ Baldbmxer built his  lovely DY op with a one piece  

[dordymush]

i was gonna say a opc would look the bolloxs on it but thought you'd laugh 

[hunterdubber]

As always with your builds Chris they are TOP NOTCH and this is no exception. Class all the way buddy  

Is that a standard colour ? it looks fantastic  

Thanks Ash
It's a cool colour and the finish is amazing , but it's not standard and that;s why I have no issues about changing it to Candy Red to keep it standard    

Sometimes it can be good to have a slightly custom twist  or a deviation from the norm , but expect a little criticism

 I dare n't do owt custom or daring         but admire those who do ,  do it well  ,,and pull it off    




They produced the Darryl Young in Chrome ,Candy red or white only

They made the Andy patterson in Chrome or white only

Steve 69 mentioned  re doing it in Candy Blue  

Mattskybeat did a Candy blue one it was lovely but not standard

Lick my gooch goldstein.

[Jaan]

Without doubt a stunning bike but +1 to running spokes if only from an aesthetic point of view 

[hunterdubber]

Nah Dave you can build any O/S BMX in the world with a one piece and it looks right  


Cheap    , but right  

 






Here's the man  with OPC and style  

[bof]

What year did 6 spoke skyways come out ? They would look mint
