Hi there newbie to bmx

[Rojo]

Hi there

I am new to the world of bmx, I have quite a few retro mtb's but have always fancied giving bmx a go.

I have just bought this gt vertigo 1996 , just frame and forks, are they any good?



I haven't a clue on how best to build it, so will be asking for help. Sorry

[oldscool]

Welcome and build what you like I say.

[insectbones]

Ask away fella, plenty of knowledge on here 

Bin that fookin stem tho 

Oh, welcome in 

[senzo milano]

   good base

[Rojo]

Thanks for welcome.

It's just the frame and forks I am getting, so will need to source the test of the parts.

I like the mag wheels (think that's what they are called) , which are best to get though?

Skyway Tuffs, if you like that kinda thing.

Get yourself a Site Supporters Tag, it gives you access to buying and selling on here, as well as helping towards BMX stuff that this site promotes

Cool are they expensive wheels?

How do I become supporter? What's the cost?

[insectbones]

Everything is expensive in old school BMX 

Site supporter tags will cost you a measly £10 for a year, how to buy one is at the top of this page

Actually 2nd from top

Welcome in Rojo, you've successfully got your SST, it states it by your name.

Your £10 enables you to buy/sell as said, but also contributes to the biggest BMX gathering in the UK, held in Milton Keynes usually in August, it's a belting weekend, highly recommended. Your cash also helps the general running of the site itself.

There are also members rides held throughout the year, all over the place. Where are you based.

[insectbones]

No worries fella, now go and have a good mooch around the site

Who said we were Pro's?? You must be kidding.

Not too many rides down Devon, but they're worth the hassle if you're happy to travel.

We are hoping to get out camping in our T5 next year so might be able to do a meet if we are near.

Just need to get parts for the gt now.

Cool need to work out which parts are best to get first. I am clueless with bmx stuff

Have a look in the museum section at other GT's, get some inspiration, and don't be afraid of asking questions, even if they seem daft. We all started out like you Pal.

A good rule to remember though, is that it's your bike, so build it how you want it.

You'll not go wrong on here.

Thanks for wise words.

Where is gt section? Not used to this sites layout yet
