very nice, are you using that size bars ?? I had a nightmare choosing the right size for my 24

I haven't decided yet TBH buddy, I have a set of 5.5" on there way to me albeit I have been advised that bitd the guys used the 7" Expert Robbo bars on them as they set up a bit better ? Plus using this stem it's quite low profile in terms of lift compared to other stems...

Time will tell I suppose

Nice, i'm liking that. Even more so as it's rare and i looooooooooove rare

I built a cruiser this year, it was a hard build as parts are more scarce than 20" stuff. I think i ran 40-16 on it although i'm not 100% sure on that.

Looking forward to seeing this get built up and curious about the bb kit

moza · « **Reply #28 on:** September 20, 2014, 10:05 AM »

mine are around 7" I tried some CWS normally on a 20" and they felt good but looked wrong

She's nice there mate, what tyres are those and were from ?

I ve seen Justin is doing Comp 3's and a few on the Bay but wondered if these can be sourced locally.

Just been and collected my wheels

and

I ve come back with more than I went for AGAIN ...

all NOS stock cannot be around much longer.. Eyes bigger than belly talk. ..

Thanks I think they are 24 inch mtb tyres lol, its a rider so any rubber will do me. I'd like comps one day maybe

Hi Paul,

I am trying to do a decent job on it, always a pleasure to hear from you, a Gentleman who knows his bikes... ..

A bit of setting up and the question.. How does this look ?

Ok mate I will take a look at those.

The NOS parts were meant to be mine

made for this contrast I've gone with on this build

You haven't got any 919 Honda Fireblade bits have you....

BADDH · « **Reply #43 on:** September 21, 2014, 05:10 PM »

Bolted a few more bits on this afternoon, tried a set of white. 97 pads on it and a set of 9" Pro bars ( other pic has 7" rise Experts)

Still on the fence for visual with the pro bars but it's got a nice riding position with these taller bars on it than with the 7" bars....

Still no tyres sourced to finish this one... Surely someone over here has a pair ? $:-\$

factory pilot · « **Reply #45 on:** September 27, 2014, 12:41 PM »

That's gonna look amazing Dazza! Great work.... As usual! Lovely stuff... You can't go wrong with the Robbo Livery! Nice!

BADDH · « **Reply #46 on:** October 03, 2014, 06:00 PM »

Well it's took a bit to find some OG Tyres but finally they came up from a very nice man who regularly spends time up in the Air ...

like waiting for a bus , three came at the same time, these black ones and a front NOS Red comp 3, ideally I need a slim rear 24" Red comp 3 to complete the carpet queen look..

Really happy with this Rare Bird and need to ride it yet, hope you like it guys.

looks great

BADDH · « **Reply #49 on:** November 16, 2014, 09:14 AM »

Finally finished with the new authentic pads now, time to finally get on and ride it at Coppull bmx track later today..

Really pleased with the build the colours work well and I will have another wheel set under build shortly for it that are era correct. Those 24" wheels are hard to get and at £600 a set for Pro class that came as standard on these bikes I needed a brandy... And still thought .. Still thinking actually and head says no, heart says yes, I will sort something ...
