Any Unannounced Newbie's On Here?

[mishmash69]

Hey

My name is Mish, living in Northampton UK and I have just joined the site properly.  I have finally bought my dream bike as kid, a Mongoose Californian.  I had a Grand Prix as a kids but this is what I really wanted.

I am not a newbie to bikes and resto... I am n+7, a mix of road, mtbs, inc 2 retro mtbs that I built up 
.
Looking forward to chatting and getting advice on how to tweak my Mongoose to how I want it

Cheers

Welcome to  Kev.

Post up your build progress mate, this place needs more activity

Looks like I'm a noob here AGAIN!  2nd time registering in something like the last 20 years. I guess my account went inactive???

Well, I'm still around and still building!!! 

Cheers,

Welcome Back Sean

What are you building at the moment.

[radmeon]

Thanks!  I've got about 9 different builds going on at the moment but the last one I put my hands on is a 1984 1st gen Haro Master I'm building to replace the last one I had that I sold back about 10 years ago (which I've been regretting ever since, as I sold my 1st gen Sport then too  ).

Are you going to post any pics? Would love to see them.

Steve.

[radmeon]

Most of them are project bikes that I've had on the back burner anywhere from 2 to over 20 years! I've been downsizing since around 2012 as my first 15 years of collecting got WAAAAY out of control!  None of them are anywhere close to completion.  The closest is the 1st gen Master as I've had parts sitting around waiting to build another for some time. I'll post pics of some of them here soon. Here's what I'm currently working on at any given moment:

1983 Mongoose Californian
1984 1st gen Haro Master
1984 3rd gen Haro Sport
1984 GT Pro Performer
1984 GT Mach One
1984 GJS Freestyler
1985 SE Quadangle Freestyler
1985 MCS Styler
1986 Vector Freeplay
1989 Haro Master

That's a nice list to be working through.

Thanks, mate.  My ADD and the fact of trying to find all the right parts without taking a mortgage out on the house keeps me rotating through builds! 

[Chilli Rinse]

Seems like the best way to play it, especially with todays Bmx market. Grab bits as they pop up which are affordable and eventually you will get them finished. Good luck with the builds 

[radmeon]

Thanks.  In the meantime, here's the Master as it sits now.  Some of the bits are just placeholders until I can source the right parts like the stem, bars, grips, and headset. Labor of love they are!

Hi, a bit late to the party here, but I guess I am a newbie.  Registered on here eons ago.  I've an '83 expert I'm trying to build.  Could've said hello by now at least tho..
