107 for a dcd hinged clamp seems dear - but a blue is a rare one. See em every now and then on here, so get youself a site tag ... and stick around!

so you can post in the For Sale and Wanted section ........cost 10 quid, but worth it

...then search or post in those sections for grip sleeves for ya grips.

to rad calum.
My one piece of advice to you is.................
Don't get all excited & buy stuff willy nilly

Sounds like you've got what you want to build firmly in your head bud. Be patient, put an add up in the wanted section for various bits n bobs, that way you should avoid filling yours & other family members houses with unwanted shit

Like filcy said, sort out a site supporter tag so you can access the for sale section & whatever you do DON'T look for parts anywhere while drunk

Will happily pay the £10
Thanks alot mate
Can you get the white grips to go over the Oakley B2s?
And if i get the 85 model on ebay master frame
Or shall i wait for an 84 model in white to pop up
I want to make it show condition
Really really excited about this
Think the white wheels mayb a problem and the blue brakes cant see them anywhere?

Thanks for the cool welcome respect

Upto you cal, but if you really want a white 84 master I'd hang on for one. You may aswell build your first bike exactly how you've imagined it to be. All the bits you want will pop up bud

Saves alot of dosh n fooking about too

^^^ sound advice! you will be sick after you have been around a while and realise what prices parts really go for. Don't panic, EVERYTHING comes up eventually.....even if it can sometimes take weeks/ months and even years for the right part to turn up! Ebay, whilst handy sometimes is not necessarily the best resource for looking for parts-most people on here only put stuff on ebay if no one wants it on here. bmxmuseum.com is very useful too and parts are generally cheaper and more plentiful over there, however you may have to pm sellers and ask if they will ship to the u.k and be prepared to get collared for customs charges.
btw £150 for a seatclamp is fooking ridiculous, was that from vert-ego on ebay?

...And what ever you do, DO NOT buy anything from a guy named Brett Bowman (masonrb) he will try his luck and you'll end up out of pocket. Patience is a virtue when building bikes. Also, if you can, try and buy as complete as possible so you don't have to parts hunt so much. It will save you money in the long run

Welcome to RAD Calum

As others have said - try and be patient - stuff comes up on here and usually a better price than the dreaded feebay
I know it's easier said than done, but the temptation to build it all as fast as possible will only cost you (and sod's law states that as soon as you do pay top dollar for something another will appear straight away!)

deeman · « **Reply #17 on:** April 30, 2014, 03:36 PM »

Having not owned a set I can't say for sure but I would imagine fairy liquid will ease the sleeves over on the grips
