my survivor challenger

[newlovetattoos]

heres my (as far as I know) survivor challenger that just needs pedals. I bought the frame and forks about 5 years ago and have slowly added and changed parts but its now at a stage where im happy with it (ish) having said that, im probably going to change the tyres and brake but after that I cant see me doing anything else to it... except maybe a 22.2 primo rod... but then thatll be it. anyway. I always loved challengers and that love stemmed from seeing one in a bike shop and then there was a mike griffin interview, he was a massive influence on my attitude towards bmx, that guy is a legend! anyway in this interview he was stood beside one of the oversize challengers in s&m blue with red prince alberts with a wrist brace on and smoking a fag and I thought that was just the coolest thing in the whole universe. at some point id like to build a replica but that will be a few years off. I even bought a set of international challenger decals years ago and put them on my homeless mack that I had.. . anyways thanks for looking. doug

Cheers jaymz. The forks are original challengers and actually quite twisted but im goin to leave them like it i reckon. Bit of survivor legitimacy or something like that.

Very nice 

Think you bought the frame/forks off a mate of mine, he had it a while but never got round to building it up forks have a bit of forward rake on em if I remember right

Drool...
Love it mate. Not keen on them rims but thats a tidy bike in a good colour. Would love a thrash on it.

its a small world betty haha. yeah it was an ebay score and the forks do have a forward rake, they are also twisted but im not really that bothered. I might sort them out at some point in the future.
yeah I know what you mean ben, the rims are a bit of a bugger but I love the hubs. nice sexy large flange crupi jobbies. I might get some araya 7's as they would make tyre choice easier too because most of the tyres ive got wont go on the t1000's. we'll see. I would like to change the tyres so it will probably happen quite soon.
