I have a bit of a love hate relationship with this one. Due to its ability to severely empty my wallet Iâ€™ve decided Iâ€™m going to call it Debbie and get married to it. Usual thanks to SBD for the lovely paint job and special thanks to Phil Sawzall for resurrecting it after I lost hope...... (See thread below)

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,178888.msg1796234.html#msg1796234

In homage to its wallet emptying ability I decided to send it ghetto pimp - No red, no tuffs........ Frame, forks, and bars for sale shortly.

Very very nice is that Bert

Great colourway and parts selection buddy.

I am with Sam on the bars though. They may be correct or sought after in some circles but, for me anyway, not my bag $:-\$

I know what you mean........ different to say the least. I did think of putting the Gallindos on, but it would just ended up being the Phaze 1 all over again.......

Colour combo, gold and white is nice and the bars aren't my cup of tea but it's different

Please take a link out of the chain though Bert

Trust you to spot the chain

I didn't want to muck about shortening the chain as Its been stripped already and the CW that i borrowed it off rebuilt.

Got to love a Vector Bert.

Always loved my 1st Vector... Sweetg now owns it, has stripped it back & looks like he's doing a lovely job ....

I'm currently collecting parts for this, if i can bring myself to Build her that is..

Another belter Bert.

Did you ever think about a custom set of DELcals with gold replacing the chrome look?

Funnily enough when i asked Del for a set of standard decals he said he didn't have them....... Ended up getting a set of ebay in the end.

Looks great Bert. Quite like the Vector bars myself, its just the fixed rake which i feel lets Vector bars down, well those with an integrated stem - more a design than aesthetic fault.

Prefer my CW build but I think you've trumped me with this one bud

Debbie looks hot in her latest oufit!
