not waiting for much now.

open to ideas on grips, seat and pedals.

Grips and pedals are the only parts you feel so go for what you think is comfy. To be fair, a holmes feels nice with sandpaper for grips and bent pedals with seized up bearings!!
Really like this bike. Hope you like it as much as i like mine.

I meant I'm no show bike builder, it's definitely going to be built, but as a rider.

Gish you've got a good chance of getting the piece o pipe seat post

GOT SOME MINT DMR V12S ANTH,,,BLACK ,,IF YA FANCY EM

hazzajoe · « **Reply #44 on:** May 18, 2013, 02:17 PM »

Before getting the ripsaw, I got this robinson 44t, it was/is nos but was powder coated black with lots of shelf/storage scratches, so after Gish gave me some polishing tips, I had a go.

Thought it looked similar to when people turn the gt overdrive's backwards?

hazzajoe · « **Reply #45 on:** May 20, 2013, 08:00 AM »

need to commence this build this week, hopefully b/b will arrive today or tomorrow, deadline was MK 13 now its Leeds North Region Summer Series Round 4 on the 2nd of June.

I found this picture of my first bmx as an adult. I bought it in the late 90's from a mate who rode trails, I knew not what trails were back then! It was total luck that the bike I bought was a S&M dirtbike. I bought it to commute around my mates and girlfriends hou when I lost my drivers liscence

I knew nothing about the bike other than the buzz words that Joe used when giving me the sales pitch. First Gen Dirt Bike. Pitch forks, red neck.( rings a bell) A head, (maybe??) Primo, Quando, Araya, Seventies, Dirty Harry. AD990.

Pic doesnt give much away and isnt very flattering to either myself or my mam
