Hello dear

Not sure on BB tbh as I don't have it yet, hoping to get up to see Ed & the Suspects at Trm1 on the 27th 
Got brakes sorted already & weighing up options on wheels - it's always good to have options though so feel free to bung over some pics/prices if you can be arsed

They pop up all the time mate , just bought another set today for £25 posted

That sounds very reasonable  eBay?
Feel free to give me a shout if you stumble across anything similar and don't need them yourself (chrome or silver ideally)

I have a horrible feeling a lot of this stuff is on Facebook 

[Bigfrawg]

All my stuff comes from eBay or here , I'm not on Facebook

[griff]

Little bit more progress today, couple more things sorted to pick up or wait for 

Tonight's quest is to see what you think about bars, looking for 2000+ year-wise in chrome...
Also tanwall tyres, anything worth looking for aside from v monsters?

Gonna have a thank you list like an Oscar speech at this rate, can't thank you guys enough for the help & advice I've been getting

 

[Gary72]

I'll try and get some pics later.

Thanks Gaz but I'm sorted for rims & hubs now 

Here's how it's looking currently

Pashley DarkCyde frame with FSA headset
DC brake, DK clamp, BB, ODI longnecks and Sun RhinoLyte 48H rims coming from Ed
Hutchman Dave's come up with a Primo Casket stem and maybe a Primo lever (needs to be a lefty)/clamp, FBM chainwheel
Munny Mark's dug out some silver Haro Megahubs
chrome Landing Gear fork on its way from JT Smooth

Everything else still to sort, on the look out for
used but decent Powerbites,
silver platform pedals,
chrome 2pc bars
Tanwall tyres (suitable for ramps)
Black seat - something plain ideally
Micro adjust post
Spokes
Freewheel/chain (won't know gearing etc yet until I know how many cogs I've got up front)

Not bad going considering I don't pick up the frame until the 27th 
 

[Gary72]

No worries, 1st dib dobs on the FBM sprocket if it ever comes up.
Don't think I can help with anything you need.

Bloody vulture, not even seen a pic of it yet 

If for any reason I didn't use it, it would go back to Dave though - seeing as he offered it to me FOC along with the other bits

[griff]

Got the first bit of the build today - NOS Landing Gear fork in lovely chrome
Thanks JT for sending out so quickly 

[Jaymz]

Got GT 'DX' platform pedals here Griff, will need an axel swap to 9/16" though

[Spen69]

I'll have a rummage John but there's a brand new 14T Dicta freewheel left in my brother's stash if you need it. Might have pedals (let me know what size you need) and a few chains (black or silver let me know)

Might have a saddle as well so will look.

[griff]

Thanks Jaymz/Spen 

I'm hoping to find some sort of 3pc crank, keep searching but not finding much at the mo
Seeing as it's a decent spec frame though I don't really want to chuck a OPC on it anyway (plus the midschool  would probably string me up  )

Once I know details of Dave's sprocket I'll have an idea of gearing

found the chainwheel... not quite as bad as i thought... 36t

Bad? It looks ace 

Sorry Gaz

Nice. Very nice mate

a set of nice Primo cranks would look good but if you're keeping it to a tight budget then something generic like these should do the trick?

looks like I have crank sorted too, thanks to Dave
he dug out a profile crank that has a bit of 'patina' but otherwise perfectly functional - with a bit of a refinish they should be bob on

today's challenge is going to be sorting hubs (again)
I did have some lined up, but didn't know the size of the front sprocket until last night. Since I really love the sprocket this means I need a flip flop hub to run a smaller freewheel.

Found this on fleabay but not sure of the age of it, googling hasn't helped
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Primo-Pro-404-bmx-48h-flip-flop-sealed-bearing-NOS-rear-hub-New/252932861615
Also will need to find a front to match! Or face mismatched hubs (unless I can strip a black rear) and maybe having to buy 2 sets of spokes

another option

there was a demolition one listed last night that looked decent as well but that's gone now

Griff, I've got some black Prolite stealth ones you can have if you want them?  they've never been used and from around the same era I believe?

will get you some pictures tonight mate

It's always good to have options! Sent you a text

If you're after Primo super tenderizer pedals, they've just released them again & they look exactly like they used to!

When were they released Shane?

Found this pic but no idea on year

[griff]

Hutchman Dave has also very kindly offered me these minty GT ones which are the front runners right now
