My last 'Old school' offering as a complete build. 1984 JMC Shadow.

I have fancied one of these for a long time and the chance came up middle part of last year. Collected the parts I wanted to put on it, keeping it real with survivor parts, the only NOS parts being the brake cable and Zeronine board.

Thanks for viewing

The 'offering' shots

The 'money' shots

Dressed to impress

Thanks guys. I wasn't sure about it myself but getting it out in the sun today made it all worthwhile

That wasn't intended.

Great minds think alike, eh Andy

I'm sure when I first posted there was just a shot of the frame.

Very nice Terry, could be my favourite of your builds

That is Fookin glorious Terry.

Based upon this build you should not give up building OS BMXs.

PS: I hope you didn't pay SST money for that seat post though.

That looks lush Terry, my kinda build

Just the right amount of attitude and a good stance.
don't give up on the OS, it's in the blood

Knowing you don't tend to keep things long.... First dibbbbs on the tyres and brake blocks

my first thoughts as well but i know Terry's a bit more savvy than that.

Very nice

Personally not keen on the layback and blue chainring,but otherwise ticks all the boxes

Thanks again guys, appreciate you words

I love building Steve but dont sadly have the space for them all. I miss my GT Pro's as they rode superbly but wanted to move onto other builds, this being one of them. I didn't feel it at first for this but getting it out yesterday has changed my mind. It is as light as anything and feels really good on the turns. I need a good run on it though to be honest.

We'll see you out on the London ride next Saturday on it then, that should do it (might even get a go myself

)
