I canâ€™t build a red white and blue bike for love nor money so iâ€™ve gone custom â€“ no blue, no tufs. Thanks to Steve for the custom pad set and Del for the custom decals. It should have Gallindo GX rather than the bars fitted, but they are at the chromers. Iâ€™m probably going to split this as well hence the lack of a chain........

Why you thinking of splitting B? That looks great mate just as it is

Every time I built it I was never happy with it - hence the swap to black and red, rather than red and blue. Funny thing is the more I look at it now, the more it floats my boat.

There are far too many 'patriotic' TA's out there buddy. It's so refreshing to see someone build something different.

Get them Galindo's on it and a chain, and post it on the Mueseum B

I know everyone says a TA should have Tuffs on but i love a TA on spokes

Very nice bike

Totally agree with Terry, Bert. Sick to death of seeing red white and blue TA's. Looks fresh

My favourite bike, a T/A. Nice one Bert!

Mikku · « **Reply #12 on:** May 31, 2014, 11:52 PM »

I also prefer a TA on spokes and this one looks great! I'd keep it and ride it!

griff · « **Reply #13 on:** June 01, 2014, 08:29 AM »

That's really lovely Bert

Get it in CSBOTM, but don't let me catch you leaving the chain off

Picklez · « **Reply #14 on:** June 01, 2014, 11:21 AM »

That's lovely, final picture really does it for me, chain on, plate off, ride it.

Jaan · « **Reply #15 on:** June 01, 2014, 11:20 PM »

Very nice Bert, some nice parts on it too. Keep it long enough to build it with the Gallindo's, they'll finish it off a treat.

Wow. What a beauty. Very Classy

Bfellows · « **Reply #18 on:** June 02, 2014, 07:42 PM »

Fook it, keeping it again

plate has got to go (boat not being floated...... and Galindos have to be fitted. I'll be needing another set of White over B1Bs as well as I was all set to use them elsewhere........

Might help you get more responses if you start a new post in the BMX chat section, rather than in Bert's thread about a TA..

I have many time tried to post something John, only for it to turn up in the last place I was looking. Maybe the case with this too

Everything turns up in the last place you look Terry
When you find the thing you want you stop looking for it
