Right, here's another stunner, this Diamond Back was sent by Southern Andy - I'm sorry, I don't have much info on the bike, I'm sure Andy will fill in.

That's an excellent idea Dan!  :daumenhoch: I really appreciate your effort. I'm visiting FB very infrequently, as it always felt a bit uncomfortable to find something in particular - especially when it comes to BMX.  :radbmxsmilie: feels like home for me.
I never had any issues using photobucket, nor do I think it's complicated. It may take some time to upload pictures via photobucket, but that's fine to me as I'm loving it to spend a good part of my me-time with this hobby anyway. Thererfore I embrace the opportunity to enjoy the "slow pace" a forum has to offer for me. Some may think or feel different about this, but that's maybe just how it is nowadays where everything seems to be rigged up beeing fast and convenient.

Thank's for doing this! I'm confident some FB-users that aren't radsters yet, will find their home here too due to efforts like yours.  :daumenhoch:

^ I feel exactly the same Andy. The forum DOES take a bit longer than facebook to learn how to use, but not much, and once you're familiar with it, it gives you access to far more information than facebook can, (especially for reference and tech/resto tips).  Ok, so you can't upload photos directly onto RAD. It DOES take a little longer than on facebook, but assuming that tapatalk or photobucket are working ok, it takes about 30 seconds to upload and post a photo on RAD  :daumenhoch:

Neil Pigeon's kindly sent another bike of one of his bikes, this time a DB Pro Star, a lovely looking bike albeit without a chain, which broke @ MK.

Almost right mate, the chain went on the bike at MK and hadn't arrived when I took this pic the week before

Cheers Dan. :)



I've done a Redline PL20 Carerra 2 aswell but I have no pictures of it. Bikes asleep in the loft now.  :-X
It was at MK.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.
