It's about time I got my finger out and posted in here.
Name: Paul Briers
Occupation: Desktop support engineer

Interests: BMX, RAD, Cartoons, being a Dad, general arsing about.
Dislikes: Irritable women, people moaning about my colourful language
Favourite Old School BMX Brand: Skyway, dp, Haro, GT & most others
First off, here is my GT Vertigo. I've no idea what year. It was a bargain from Joff on here. £100 for the frame, forks, bars, stem, crank, spider, chain wheel & seat
It ended up being a SANDS tribute bike for my late daughter Anabelle. Mainly because it matched the SANDS colours.
Next up is my latest build, My Aero Reflex. It was bought for my Wife but she rode it about 8 feet and didn't like it. It sat un touched for a couple of years until I decided to get it built for Chest-Air 2015. I had some minty Weinmann calipers knocking about so that decided the colour scheme.
I tried using most of the same type or parts as on my dp GL+ as those were the ones I liked as a kid the first time round. I got most of them until I threaded one of the bolts on my fakelifter stem
I'm really chuffed with how it turned out (even with that crank & the Tuff Hubz!) It rides great too.
Talking of my GL+ This is what it looks like at the moment after spending most of its life in a filthy loft.
I've got a chrome Haro Zippo that I've been meaning to OA bath & build. I've also got a mini burner for my son but he's 2 at the moment so that can wait for a bit.
