This was actually the first bike I bought when I got back into BMX in about 2008.
Sawzall was selling it for a friend of his and I paid the grand sum of £75 for the whole bike.
I have a photo of it somewhere and I will find it and edit the post so you can see a before and after.
It is the rarer frame and fork with the extra bar making it a late model.
It had Tuffs that had been painted with gloss paint,the alloy fluted post was stuck and someone had welded another seat tube to the existing seat tube that had another seatpost in it.
I stripped all the good parts and sold them on,had it all repaired and primed and then it sat there for a few years as other projects came and went.
I also stripped all the gloss of of the Tuffs and bleached them.
So this year I thought I would get it sorted,got it painted in a rogue mix of baby blue,found some NOS frame decals on eBay,with Del providing the rest.
I had accumulated a few budget parts over the years and chucked it all together
I went for Mike Buff Zeds which I think work better than the Tuffs that I restored as you can see.
Unfortunately as soon as it was finished,I am selling as I have other projects on the go that need a push.
Here it is with my other Rickman FS In chrome for a cool double act
