Crackin job there Gav, always thought the thickness of the downtube spoiled this frame but i could more than live with that. Sits lovely and nice to see those frequency g's in the flesh.
Been toying with getting some for my new build but images of them are thin on the ground  :4_17_5:

Cheers Clint  :daumenhoch: ....The tyres are 100% getting thin on the ground bud, I ordered 2 from Winstanleys as they had them on offer for £20 each.  However, only one turned up and to cut a long story short.....I had to find another to match it.

If you do decide to go for some.....Flat Squirrel bmx are doing them for £25 each incl postage  :daumenhoch: ....Get in there quick before they sell out!

dude that looks cool top job  :4_17_5:
did you order the white power dics direct from pork chop buddy? how much & whats the web address?

Thanks Sean

 :daumenhoch: ....Yeah I got the disc directly from them bud.  Ive done a few seperate orders with them now and they are top notch!  The last order I placed only took a week to get here so you cant go wrong!  Theyve always marked the parcels as gift too so you wont get stung by customs :)

It was $25 US I think which works out to about £17 excluding postage (which is reasonable) ....If you order a few bits its worth your while  :daumenhoch: .  Their address is www.porkchopbmx.com  :daumenhoch:

Yeah had the flat squirrel page bookmarked for a few months now and always found a reason to hold off pulling the trigger  :D
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

Its a bit of an odd one with flat squirrel because they dont accept direct card payment??  Theyve got a Paypal option which is what I would have done.....I chose the bank transfer option thinking that it was a card payment thing but it wasnt, they give you their account details to deposit the money into their bank?

Bit random but theyre as good as gold....and theyre on FB too if you need to ask anything  :daumenhoch:

Gav, that's cracking mate :daumenhoch:

I won one about ten years ago on the Bay and never built it, so I gave it to my bro. It's his daily ramp rider still to this day and he rides it every ramp night we go on as he swears by them as a bit of midschool tank construction :daumenhoch:





I also built one for my mate's son out of a load of spares to get him into BMX and he trashes it every day - I have to re-build it everytime I see him :2funny:
