Great build mate, looks fantastic, you must remember that everyone has different standard of builds and many debates on what was used, all I know is what was used on my Winterland, the hardest things to get on the winterland are the fat and skinny very very early gt tyres, I'v never seen these in any condition let alone nos, the Oakleys Ed used were .5s and then the forks ;) which are hens teeth, he also used 1st gen GT Framestanders for 84'  again rare as rocking Horse shite, and he used a 43T chainring👍 the cranks were profile cranks as well! Again depends on how anal you are, but looks like you won a bike medal build at MK so who am I saying any difference.....well done mate!
I have done an additional 3 more Fiola builds and there are different variants to each bike, so it's best to build a bike from a particular event or picture and go with that, me and Eddie have a 85' King of the skateparks with the 20x3/8 skinny wheels, Eddie was at my house last month and I had to tell him that he had wrong parts on his bike, so it shows you how he cannot remember everything he used, he signed my winterland and I took a video and he said it was a 85' bike lol but it's a 84' I'll get the link to the video, about 5 to 10 posts down.  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jason-Finn/519902628086739'ref=ts&fref=ts

All the best

Here are some pics of the parts

Lovely build Mr Dibbly!!

Finny it's cool that you know the legend that is Eddie  ;)

One thing that strikes me (especially after seeing your video) is that I think as enthusiasts, and the obvious sentimental
attachment we have to memories of childhood, is that I think maybe we care about the small details a little bit too much!
I'm not sure where i'm going with this, it's just that the man himself, who's bikes we all try and replicate, can't really tell what year the frame is, yet we are willing to pay whatever it takes to get the exact nos chain ring bolts for said bike!

Really it's just the difference in lives I guess, Eddie was that bit older, the pro, he did this day in day out(i'm sure it wasn't always fun)with different components given to him all the time, I suppose however cool it was, it was his job.

Me however I was 10, glued to my nan's tv looking at him like he was some kind of god(still do!)hence why I still love this stuff so much.

Anyway I don't know what that was all about...... back to the meds!!
