This decal is on its way to me. It's small enough to use on the seat post. I love it

Cheers John, I'm not sure about back to life, maybe it's on life support until something gives

Well done Toby. Not my era or cup of tea, but love the effort and idea behind it

I left the dub world when rat look was gaining traction in the 90's and they never floated my boat either. Doesn't stop me from admiring a great guy keeping the spirit alive and having some fun with it too

. Keeping it

buddy love it

Cheers Pete, thanks for the comment. Yeah, not everybody's cup of tea for sure, not one for the purists

It was a fun little project buts it's not finished. I've taken the gyro off to use on another build soon to be started. It never adjusted up properly anyway. My longest black cable outer isn't long enough to use as a rear so once I have one it'll be finished. It's looking cleaner for it tbh. Well not cleaner but you know what I mean

Hope you're are well mate

All good my friend. Cant believe it's been a year since I've updated my build thread

. Still, like all of us I've been collecting the little finishing parts slowly. And two more builds worth of parts being accrued. Really excited for the next one - my original DP from BITD. Just trying to hold off till the Changa's finished, or I'll never get either to the finishing line

.

Then my battered JMC that Amber sorted for me - but honestly, that makes your Haro look like a NOS find at the moment

.

Stay safe. I'm lurking...

I've just paid for these wheels. I've had my eye on them for a while now. They were relisted with reductions a few times but I got twitchy and paid up. A little work needed but they should look pretty cool on the rat.

I saw those. There were tons of them on Ebay a few years ago. Problem was they were for folding bikes and had a dished back wheel for a 7 speed. I think it was Bankrupt who had them. I was thinking about getting a set and having one relaced, but ended up buying a killer set of wheels instead. I wanted them for my GT.
