Working on this 98 Hoffman Taj at the moment, im trying to get it specced as i had mine BITD. The blue ODI grips will get the arse and I'm still undecided whether I want to keep the Superforks as I ran Pitchforks at one point too. the Superforks were ridicously heavy and it did away with the ugly ass headset.
Anyways here's a progress pic.

you know it Daz

I'm all over that too!

I saw a JAD for sale on BMXMuseum for silly money but I was still tempted ...

OrgasmDonor · « **Reply #128 on:** January 29, 2015, 03:28 PM »

there used to be a couple of JADS turn up at MK in the early days at least. I think i'd feel more confident thrashing the holeshot but both sexy as fook

:nickswan:Cheers guys.

The Holeshot rides real nice to ride, the geometry is exactly the same as a Free Agent Limo, so it's plenty roomy up front with a shortish back end to make it easier to pull up and over rollers , it manuals for dayz too

I have been a little quiet around here of late, but I am still working on a few bikes.

I recently got my S&M Kris Bennett built again after I needed to source a few missing parts. It's not 100% complete yet, but it's not far off.

I've also been working on my polished Monocoque Elite.
I wanted to change this one up a bit, as it seems as though everyone is building Monocoques (including myself) with the same formula of Spin wheels, Shimano DX brakes, Answer Allumilite forks and some form of alloy crank set. I decided to make this look a bit "stock", so on went Group 1 forks, Fusion 3 pce cranks and a set of Kore Speedhoops with a Hayes mechanical disc brake, for some trick factor. I still need to dial everything in as I am waiting for a brake cable to arrive.
This bike is going to be a rider, so I'll be stoked when it gets finished.

The haro looks excellent without the spins gordy mate

Gordy · « **Reply #133 on:** June 10, 2015, 02:00 PM »

I got the Monocoque finished yesterday in its current guise, I'm pretty happy with how it's come out.
The wheels are so much heavier compared to the Spins that were on it previously, but they look so much beefier and complete the look that I wanted from this bike.

Now to get started on this King Liberty

That King is the ducks guts!
Your builds all look great. Perfect stance on the Bennett.

Gordy · « **Reply #136 on:** August 06, 2015, 08:37 AM »

I finally have the ACE Holeshot finished, I still may change the forks to a set of Brand X or McMahons if I can find a clean pair but the Answers will do for the moment. I just fitted a PAUL brake lever and a Chip N Dale decal was the final piece of the puzzle. For those that don't know Andy Currie is the man behind ACE (Andy Currie Enterprises) and he also owns and operates a bike shop shop called Chip N Dale BMX.

Anyway onto the pics, hope you like.

I also finished the King Liberty, which has its own thread on here somewhere, but here's a few pics anyway.

Monk_Wally_Honk · « **Reply #145 on:** August 07, 2015, 02:41 PM »

That's a lovely frame, what is it?

pickle · « **Reply #146 on:** August 07, 2015, 04:55 PM »

proper lovely collection you've got there

Gordy · « **Reply #147 on:** August 07, 2015, 11:35 PM »

Its a TNT Hwa Fong Daddy.

I had a slightly later model of these back in the day, and have been trying to track one down for a about 5 years. I was lucky enough that a mate of mine found one for sale, immediately bought it to secure it, then on sold it to me. I was happy enough to throw him some extra cash for hooking me up with it, because its a grail frame of mine.
If you want to see a beautiful example of one, check out midschooljons yellow 95 model. Its truly a work of art.

CustardLips · « **Reply #148 on:** August 08, 2015, 02:21 PM »

Unfamiliar with a lot of your stuff Gordy but gotta say you build lovely bikes.

Extremely nice collection you've got there mate.

Gordy · « **Reply #149 on:** August 28, 2015, 09:41 AM »

I have a bike show on this weekend, so I've been busy tweaking and finishing off a few builds ready for the show.
The first is the General Lee which I've had for years, but the frame has sat on a shelf for the last few years after borrowing some parts to complete another bike, after sourcing some replacements, ive been able to get it buil again.

I've also tweaked the Bennett after building a new set of wheels, DK 48H hubs laced to Sun Ringle Rhyno lite rims.

I've also rebuilt my X-File which is pretty much the same as I had.
