Might not be factory spec or show standard but I am well chuffed with the way it turned out.

Nice 1st Build that fella

Nice 1st build that mate, well done.

Flip your seat clamp upside down though, nobody will spot it's a repop then.

Not that there's anything wrong with repop parts

Thanks for the comments - and the advice too Dan.

Went for a ride this afternoon, first time I had been on a BMX for years and felt so good.

Reckon my SE Draft Lite will be up for sale soon.

Very nice :daumenhoch:Loving the smiley dust caps :)Takes me back to my rave days.Where did you get them?

thefifthmember · « **Reply #17 on:** February 16, 2013, 09:40 PM »

Still tweaking bits and pieces to get a comfortable ride - seat movement is in the offing for sure.

The smiley dust caps are actually from Halfords - I couldn't resist them.

Thanks again for all the positive comments. In the process of being skinted out buying a flat so will be the only build for a while.

Sweet build, fella.

I did a factory spec black nova last year, and it took some doing.

You've done a smasher, there.
