Okay so Rad's a little quiet because it's post MK and to quote Game of Thrones "Winter is coming" but what you got cookin' lads?
Carl's just finished his beauty, Christophe's JMC was lush and Glynn's TA XL will be one sweet ride but what have you got in the pipeline ?

Just put a wanted ad up for a Burner!!

Really fancy doing an extra burner. Again, it's one of those bikes I quite liked BITD.
Would be nice to have one join the collection.

I know it's not a high end build but it's about the nostalgia. 😏

I loved these BITD, gazed at my mate Mike's for hours.

It's either this or a Falcon Pro Theta.
My best mate had one and I envied it immensely.

Again would like to get it for sentimental and nostalgic reasons.

Part of me is thinking that I should do a TAP Burner, but I just can't get any enthusiasm for buying bike parts.

Would be nice that Dan....To do it justice it would cost a fair price though I imagine?

New paint job and a few parts to change on my Freeagent then I'll be tackling a Robinson Amtrac.

Looking good lads ... Love the Extra Burner after the Tuff Burner definitely the most iconic .., love them

C'mon Dan get on it mate ... There are parts aplenty around at the moment and many are going for resonable prices ... Once you start the love comes straight back ... Believe me

I'd defo avoid the factory spec route, I'd probably aim for a race look, spokes, single brake etc.

Did u ever sell you Chrome Aero Pro Dan?

Got a few in the pipeline:-

Cook Bros Pro 82
Cyclecraft 1990ish
Torker 280x 83
Falcon Pro Theta

Plus a few more bits to find for the Viper, the crank and wheels.

Tweaks for the National Pro, Ripper and JMC

Silver Streak is done, just needs photos.

Still got my extra burner on the go. It'll be done by early next year. I will get my arse into gear and remove it from your house soon Joff!

Building a 84 Ammaco freestyler at the moment but needs a decent paint job , one of the bikes i had bitd . Then late december / January start on a 84 Curtis Pro , looking forward to that one .

Might have a go at the freeagent limo again.its been light blue dark blue and futuristic black aka hammerite.thinking of yellow for it next.

MartyC · « **Reply #16 on:** November 12, 2016, 01:53 PM »

Might actually finish my Procraft at some point in the coming months and my 82 Jag Team Pro, still not found anyone in Western Australia that I would trust to tidy up a previous repair on my Patterson Pro Long frame

Might give it to my mum to take back to the UK when she comes over at Xmas and get an old friend to do it and then have him post it back to me but I can't help thinking that is a bit excessive $:-\$ .

Do it!! They're such great-looking frames, and definitely worth the effort in my books. I just missed out on one for sale on the Museum the other month - gutted! One day! In the meantime, I've got 3 framesets I'm slowly gathering parts for, the first of which is a Redline 500a.

Well after my earlier post this morning saying I wouldnt mind purchasing a Falcon Pro Theta and after a one hour round trip, this one now sits in its new home here.

Big big thanks Andy (Rooski) for parting with it.

Looking forward to building this up.

Steve
