My first build was an 87 haro fsx, from ebay, that had been competely drenched with matt black paint. i stripped it all with nail varnish remover, and to see the old war wounded paint appering from underneath, along with the fsx decals was a joy to behold. Alloy hubbed tuffs too, all for £80. Shame you canr pick up bargains like that anymore.

A Freeagent Limo, now owned by NosepickBen and he rides it a lot better than i could.



One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

This is the bike that started it all off for me, built before RADBMX was born, maybe 1999/2000

I got one of those from Cyclesport, £150 I think.  :shocked:

I said 'machine, why are we here?'
And it paused and said 'to play video games and drink beer'

my first build around 2006, almost gave it away to a mate before i restored it so he could start riding again. thank god i gave him a diamond back venom instead. ;D cost me around £150 for bars, seatpost, brakes, tyres, decals, grips, padset and bottom bracket, i had everything else in my shed. diacompe mx1000s and levers from vert-ego for £45 and i grudged it as i remember they only used to be £16 from my local bikeshop.  :D

This is my original bike from Bitd.......I can't believe I got it back after 20 years.

Then I started staring at Ebay all day and bought another Bmx off a very nice chap (Brettypeeps) who told me all about Radbmx.

And my first build. :daumenhoch:

Found at the local tip about 10 years ago.

I spotted the team colours among among a pile of old bikes, I thought might it be an Team Aero Pro but alas no it was a humble Team Replica.
