I know it’s Friday night and you’re all ooot on the lash, but nosstillwithreleasepowder Comp ll Stadium  :smitten:

When I was born, the world was a far simpler place.
It was all just cops and robbers.
And BMX.

Hahaha...i read in my half pissed and other intoxicants state ' while you lot are out on the lash i have been on the nostril release powder'
that's a new name for it I thought!!  :crazy2:
I am still not sure about the 'release powder' myth...either way, You find some excellent parts Simon ...this is going to be just as cool as the RL , can't wait to see the finished article, your rider reps are next level  :daumenhoch:

Interesting, thanks - I followed slightly diff method but seemed to have good results. I steam clean my tyres inside and out. Before that I clean the outside walls with Mr Sheen furniture polish. After the steam clean, I slather a good amount of vas on the inside of the tyre and pop it on a wheel and slightly over inflate it. You can see the vas coming through the tyre under pressure. Wash down the tyre, release some pressure and leave overnight. Repeat next day. Show pony only/ terms and conditions apply/ may cause back ache.

Coaster tab removed and looks like it was never there. Off to polishing and chrome next.

The frameset has gone to chrome today and I found some Judge forks for sale in Nova Scotia, which I had to wait for. I also got some nos Mike Buff Hutch Trick Team decals on the way, which I am well pleased about. Props to Ady for the lead on those.

Wheels are laced, thanks to Ady, top job and not easy lacing those beast spokes on the rear. They look amazing, especially with Dan’s paintwork on the Suntour coaster. And those lovely hen’s teeth tyres to finish them off. The f/f has yet to return from chrome - 5wks now, dread to think what they’re going to charge  :shocked:
Finding a red DC hinged clamp was a lot more difficult than I anticipated, but one on the way - as well as nice 83 red tech 3’s. Slow burner this one  :daumenhoch:

Just a shot to show you those spokes. Mike had .80 gage on front and .105 gage on rear for strength. That’s roughly 14gage front and 12gage rear.

Forks are back from the dead, I’m pleased with the result  :daumenhoch:
As they are and as they were - worthy of resto.

I was just lucky with the forks, went online at the right time, got talking to a guy in Nova Scotia, Canada - talking about what we’re building and he says he’s got some I can buy  :shocked:

Well after 6 months of searching every platform I could, I’ve finally found a Tioga Max Flo stem. I think it’s bang on the money.

Another og ingredient sourced. Chrome flaking right off, prime candidate for resto. It’s getting close now, nearly ready to build this bad boy.

Last two decals for the plate arrived today so I’ve been putting that together. Update: 2hours later and my butt cheeks have yet to un-clench.
It’s not perfect, so I might have to bin it, but for now -

Nearly done with this. I still have some fettling to do on the plate and the Buff guard, but for now it’s done. I’m gonna change the Mx 1000 for 900’s and when some og cranks show up, I’ll stick a fork in her and call her done done.
