This arrived today .....

[NORTY40]

After 5 years of searching i finally landed one of my grail bikes today , it won't be everyones cup of tea but i love it .

I know of only 3 in the UK and there are only 2 on the museum one of which is our Nathan's (macmania) . I guess from that sentence you have guessed it's something MT Racing   

You may recall Nathan's build from earlier this year , the one were Phil Sawzall basically built Nathan a set of forks .http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,159637.msg1589688.html#msg1589688

I was lucky with mine that it came with it's original pac man style forks and not only that they were mint . The frameset looked really good in the for sale pics but it's even better in the flesh , a proper og mint frameset , i was made up  .

I was lucky to secure a set of equally rare sumo aero rims with it aswell , basically the same style as Araya aero's.

Anyway less waffle ...... here she is

1983 MT Racing aero pro , full cro mo and one of the lightest framesets i have 






















Massive thanks to Jochen (Mobydick on the museum) for selling me this frameset , packing it to a high standard , shipping from Germany and for being a great guy to deal with . Your a star mate 

Happy man 


I'll get some more pics of the forks as they are mad as hell and this one is blurred

Chrome and tubes are awesome !

[Spen69]

Very nice that mate

[Macmania]

Brilliant, made up for you Joff  You kept that quiet 

Talk about ironic, we've both spent 4-5 years searching and two turn up within weeks 

My latest Frameset complete with original forks (that only arrived a couple of weeks ago) also came from Germany........spooky 

[NORTY40]

A few magazine ad's pinched from Nath 






They weren't a cheap bike bitd , retailing at around £250 !



Thanks for the comments lads     I must admit i did feel like a young kid at Xmas again this afternoon when the box arrived !!

You can see why there is only 2 of them 


Nice one Joff

I can always rely on you Craig 

That's yummy !



Chrome and tubes are awesome !

Your dead right Nick , awesome condition ...... obviously had a sheltered a Facebook group .

Very nice that mate

What's the colour scheme going to be then

I have most of the parts to build it factory spec Spen but tbh im angling more towards upping the spec and putting some nicer parts on it .  Black and Chrome

Weird... My MT Fox also came from Germany originally. Obviously a hotbed for all things MT. Great score there Joff  . Super rare too.  You'll need one of these to go with it then. I'm getting some made up in the new year.

[sawzall]

Check your phone Nath ........ i sent you pics this afternoon when it arrived  !!

Thought you would like it mate and you know how long i have been after one 

I only snagged it a week ago so didn't want to say anything until it landed safely 

I actually did wonder if you had pulled out of the deal and this was the frameset you had mentioned , does seem weird that two of these have surfaced in Germany within a month of each other 

[markyp]
