Still a great thread this. Did you know the Quad pic "with the Velcro" was taken using a static bike and Perry throwing a tub of rocks and dust over the front wheel.

Awesome Redux thread!!

..can't wait for a classic shot of the bike in cinecolor!

now go out and incinerate them, Ant

Chief Quartermaster (QMC) Phillips: ...But that's MK, captain.
Willard: That's classified. We're not supposed to be in MK, but that's where I'm going.
Chef: [interupting] No, no, we go together... on the bike! We came this far, so we go together. All the way! We'll take you up there, we'll go with you... but on the bike! Okay?

Unbelievable 😱, really looking forward to seeing this & I'm not a big race bike fan. In awe of your attention to detail & patience, both of which I lack completely 😁

Absolutely stunning build Ant! Wish I was going to MK to see it in the flesh. Some beautiful builds on here lately you guys never cease to amaze me at the quality and attention to detail

Just like Colonel Kurtz and Francis Ford Coppola I've spent far too long on this project .., I've gone native, nutso, fruit loopy ....

But .... Finally here it is in glorious..

Thanks boys .. It's real hard sometimes with the gold .. Because it's so bloody 'gold' lol
I'd seen lots ( like Andy Rooski's - a really nice build by the way ) which had black parts or others with chrome but I wanted this look..

It screamed 1980's BMX to me
