Hey Peeps, Just ventured back into the bmx hobby, after owning various BMX's in the past(late 90's) such as, GT Performer, GT Bump, Mongoose Menace/Expert/ And Sniper. Haro Basher, Redline RL240 and a few others too, (I Changed bike's like the wind)

The last BMX I owned was a flatland bike, KHE Lagger.. loved her to bits, but sold her on just like the rest once id moved house.
After browesing ebay i brought a suposed new KHE CATWEASLE frame, colour was a grey/blue. Bargin at £50 inc p&p. Once it arrived it had signs of being used, but no dints, but i noticed paint coming off, and it was chrome underneath.. so ive shotblasted the frame, and ive just finished primering it. Im going to spray it a mint green, and air brush graffiti down the frame with the word catweasle, (as i cant get hold of any stickers) then spray it with a pearl green laquer for the final coat.
I will post photo's as i go along.
But what with me being abit out of date and that..

is there anything anyone could recomend to buy (head set, stem, ect)
Your help will be great.
Cheers faz
