Wow, just found this on Southsea's site:



Is Brad Tubb - the photographer - on this site?  Any chance I could use this photo on the Curb Dogs page?

I`ll ask Carl Westfield for you Maurice, he might have some more pics too

Hi Maurice...!!.....Billy has just sent me a PM asking for more pictures. I'll look for some and post them for you. My best one of all you guys at Southsea is already shown (Craig with the damaged hand - hurt the day before)...but I'll look some out for you now. The picture you are asking about above of a "ramp to ramp" photographed by Bradley Tubbs...send an email to Simon Tiller at Southsea Skatepark website, tell him who you and want you want (Say Carl sent you !) and I'm sure he'll allow you any rights to the picture. I havn't had time to read this thread through yet. I'll post the pictures asap and then hang around for a chat !!...Carl Westfield (I've still got Paul Hudson's TA)....send me a PM with your email and I'll also send you loads of Skyway Team pictures from 84/85....OK they are not "kerb dogs" but still the same Skyway era.

Zed4130, funny you should mention the letters for those plates.  I've been rebuilding that TA and went looking for some to do that white plate.  They are stick on letters and I found them at one of the chain office supply stores here - OfficeMax of Office Depot.  The brand name is "Headline" by "US Stamp and Sign".  I could help you get some if you want.

Bob_Acid.  Isn't that the truth?  Every major part on my bike was used and the bikes just morphed as you replaced piece by piece.

Speaking of riding other bikes: here's a pre-Curb Dogs shot just after getting a co-sponsor from Kuwahara.





And, here's a funny one from before that.  Check the seat post: broken pair of GT bars turned layback post.

maurice that would be great how much are they thanks for the help you guys influinced me so much in the 80's this means allot thanks

maurice do you still have those brake levers with the red covers and rubber hoods i noticed they were on your kuwi and later on your ta would love to see pics when done thanks 

[Maurice Meyer]

Carl, good idea.  I'll just e-mail them.  Can't wait to see those pix.

Zed4130, those letters are about $4.50 a set.  They come in different sizes and colors.  Maybe 2 or 3 fonts.  That white Curb Dogs plate in the Action Bike articles has 2" black and 3/4" red ones.  It's been costing about $8 to ship a 10oz shirt so you can figure from there.  No problem getting them to you.  I'm going to make a run over there soon for letters for another plate and I'm always going to the post office at lunch from work.

Yeah, I don't have the actual levers and covers from that bike but I've found the pieces.  The levers are Dia Compe Tech III.  The red sleeves are a BMX thing that come up on eBay here and there but Jason Eley hooked me up with those.  Thanks again Jay!  I found the black rubber covers were a Honda XR-70 thing and found a site that has originals and another with really good repros.



Just got some pretty amazing mid-resto pictures of the TA frame after the rust stripping but pre-chroming and I'm really psyched to get this thing done.  I'll definitely post the photos up here.
