Did a deal with Jamie for this, it was completely stripped, and about to off for new powder, but I loves a ratty survivor! I think this falls into the well loved category of survivor, I've wiped it over and reassembled, nothing's been replaced, all I've done is put a pair of ratty comp lll tyres on until I can get some freestyle ones , just waiting on the grips and pedals to arrive

I couldn't let all that history go, I sit and look at all the chips and scratches and just wonder what it's been up to for the last 26 years, how much fun was had on it, how it may have been a treasured and well loved possession, how someone's parents scrimped and saved to buy it, there was no way I could look at a restored one and feel the same about it

Survivor pedals, cheers clint

Looks awesome Jaymz, gutted I took it apart and swapped it now! Have now found the WTP frame is a little too short for me so it's gotta go

Jaymz · « **Reply #13 on:** July 05, 2014, 07:14 PM »

The wtp was 20 and a bit inches, the ltd frame was only available in that tt size, get a longer reach stem, that veer one isn't as long as most as I'm only a short ass

Been out today on it, survivor tyres are such an ass popped off the rim twice

cheers man, just gotta swap the tyre tyres out as the beadings gone on them and they pop off the wheel, you can see how uneven they sit on the pics

fischflo · « **Reply #17 on:** July 15, 2014, 09:07 PM »

Is it going to MK? We could have a decade mini meet

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #19 on:** July 15, 2014, 09:15 PM »

Looks great Jaymz

So glad you saved it from becoming just another carpet queen. I know you will use it for what it is intended for

What tyres are you after buddy?
