Looks like you've got all the bits there mate. Clean it up put it back together and get yourself out on a ride with some fellow Radsters. First step check this link. http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,178383.0.html

Rust isn't to bad on frame but chrome is really dull.

Looks ripe for a quick wipe over and pop it back together Que the flood of pm's
What he just said ... It's a rare thing and a special thing... If it's yours treat it with love ... Clean it up and put it back together .. Then ride it dude ... Or go mad and do a proper full on resto and make her a carpet queen! It's a holy grail of a bike you have there for many of us ... Do it justice ... Do it right and don't sell it unless it's to me!
Lovely No way would I rechrome that or remove the decals. It looks gorgeous as it is!Like Nick said, a CA bath shouldn't affect the decals. There is a great thread on here in the Tech section on how to do it. I followed it on my Redline and it came out a treat with all decals intact.
Does the CA get all the grim off? Or do you have to remove grim before you dip it?
If your 43 and worried about riding an old school bmx again, maybe get yourself to MK15 in august. There may be a few of like minded people all doing the same. p.s You'll regret selling it, only a very few of us still have the bikes we had bitd, I wish I had one of mine.
Don't take the stickers off, give it a clean up, put it back together and jobs a good un
