I have a bit of a love hate relationship with this one.  Due to its ability to severely empty my wallet I’ve decided I’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  :4_17_5: 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.......

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  :daumenhoch:
