Looks great Gary, tuned it to see this complete.

Is an FBM sprocket going on?

Need to find a black 44t FBM sprocket or a Profile Black Jack sprocket.
Got some Profile SS cranks.

Liking the green :daumenhoch:
Did that use to have tufts?
Saw one in the museum with tuffs or just a front tuff.
I like to try a grey front tuff just to see what it looks like.

yes, it was my first sensible rider build. i couldnt rip myself from tuffs, as im essentially oldschool. but after storming up the quarter pipe at bones, and seeing a vid of the tuffs flexing at my 12 stone, i tried some a few different combos. setteld with alex supra e pro's, on son of a bomb hubs. good chrome stopping power with the evolvers.

no, i thought it was too heavy, after riding oldschool for ages. sold it to fund a beefed up version of a rickman freestyler with 1 1/8 forks, fbm ste, welded on 990 mounts so it would weigh old school but rin like new school. I didnt work, by the time id got the cranks, slam bars and a surprisingly heavy acs freecoaster installed it was about the same weight as the fbm...... ::)

Done some swapping around today, Swapped the stem with the one on my Night Train and fitted some Old 76 bars. From info from dannywhac the stem without the skulls is an older version. At least the FBM font on the Night Train stem and seat clamp match now.  :buck2:
Not sure about running the Bottleneck with the skulls and bottles flipped :-\
