Bit of an update with this, I was struggling to get a Suntour Power stem, so bought a snidey copy off eBay, basically as I didn't want to hold the build up, it will do till a pucker one turns up, and will be covered with a stem pad anyway.

I also went to see Lenny yesterday too, I'd been meaning to go and see him anyway, and he had some Hsin Chow Mein bars for me, so I killed 2 birds and went to collect them and had a couple of hours in Wigan with Lenny and Lenny Jnr.

Anyway, pics..

Cheers Joffy, yeah, got 4 sets if these bars now, they're great.

Lenny's doing good mate, trying to get him down here next weekend as Paul Weller is playing in Delamere Forest on Friday Night. Had a walk around Alan's, an amazing place.  :daumenhoch:

Got an hour to myself this afternoon, so took the crank, BB and spider off my Mag Burner, these are all rechromed items that were originally on my Orange Street Beat. I had bought a silver 44t Sugino ring, so polished that up with Autosol and a Dremel.

Quick update.

I've been spending a lot of money lately, sadly not on BMX parts, but stuff for the baby, so I've decided that rather than spending money on getting the wheels laced up in time for MK, I'd borrow a set off another bike.

What's your opinions guys??

Spence, you don't know how much I would piss a fellow RADster and one of my best buddies off, if I changed these pedals.  "nono"

Those rims look spot on to me!  :)  I understand the comment about the chainwheel though - as nice as it is, it gets a bit lost with all the other black tho' it might look different when the chain's on.  :daumenhoch:

On second thoughts, how about a black spider or powerdisc? Top build in any event!  :4_17_5:
