Here is the 1980 MX II thought it would be different in blue,i think it looks very cool

all comments welcomed

I still need 9/16 spindles for the mks bm-7's to go on this

Very nice bud.

Bars look a little too modern/freestyle for my taste, personally i'd stick some V bars on it and maybe some rat traps

The rat traps i bought for was wrong spindle size i am an

was going to buy v bars but just thought these looked ok,ah well i will get a build rite yet

There is no such thing as a wrong build - if you enjoyed it and like it that really is all that counts but you did invite comments

I have v bars on my MXII because I love the bars on early BMX. If you need any, I can help you out but thats NOT why I suggest them.

Nice that Graham

You have your own BMX production line at the moment

Agree with Chris on the V bars and his comment on '' if you like it and enjoyed building it that's all that counts'' . It's your bike mate .... build it how you want it

My 79 MXII will be getting V bars but im drawing the line at the rat traps because i hate them !!

Now get onto the next one , i expect to see it by weekend

Doesn't have to be rat traps but something more in keeping with its era so maybe Lightnings, MP1000 or BM-7s if you're not wanting to blow too much cash

Agreed.

Ditch the front brake too.... it's a race bike.

cardinal sin to not have 'V' bars on an old redline....

hokuspokus74 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 15, 2014, 09:05 AM »

Yeah i know,going to buy a set of v bars for it then i'll post a pic when i get them on

hokuspokus74 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 15, 2014, 09:15 AM »

I suppose a set of 20 1.5 rims on it? blue or chrome/silver

hokuspokus74 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 24, 2014, 12:06 AM »

Finally got the V's on it now just the pedals also changed the stem and the brakes as there would have been to much blue with the bars,levers,grips

NORTY40 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 24, 2014, 12:10 AM »

Nice one Graham , V'bars are much better

hokuspokus74 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 24, 2014, 12:54 AM »
