[ronnie360]

there are some already on the site i am just waiting for the bars before i put the finished bike up 

[P0LL0]

You got the odd levers and odd cables etc? Cant wait to see it! i may have to do a replica of one of his others if its accurate!

[ronnie360]

yes i have to change the breaks to silver but i got the ones i have well cheap for mx1000,s so i am useing them till i get the silver ones 

[P0LL0]

I meant the levers, if you look really closely he has two different types of brake levers, A tech 4 and an ACS freestyle lever, also the cables are odd as are the tyres........not that i've studied the pictures hard or anything!!  Did you say you havnt got the bars yet?? i found a pair of originals in the states and they owe my just shy of a hundred so good luck finding them  Lazychubs will tell yer how hard early forklifter bars are to find! Also where did you get the Peregrine masters from? I cant find a pair of white ones anywhere, especially with a Coaster

[ronnie360]

I'm a bit late to the conversation but Freestyle BMX ran a centrefold pic of that exact same trick but from behind the ramp. I had that poster on my wall for years. Arm pointing up, leg pointing down and the bike totally flat, it was like a perfect cross shape.
