Don`t look like anybody else has either Andy  ???
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

I had a set similar to those (but 1.75) in the mid nineties and they were called Sun Chinook rims.

Cheers Laz I was hoping it was them as they will be about the right age for the bike.

They are only single skin rims but seem to be pretty thick metal so I think they will last me OK as well.

Kev the Limo is a 91 I think. It was the one Darren Flint was trying to ride before it fell apart on him. I'm doing it with 185 GT profiles / GT superlace hubs and Pitbull / MX900 brake set up the rest I'll make up as I go along but can't decide on a colour to paint it yet (defo not purple as bikes that colour seem to have something against me  :2funny:). Where did you get your stickers?

Cheers

Andy

91 sweet  :daumenhoch:

decals from shawn (kastanman i think) over on VBMX
i saw some in the for sale section only last night for for script style decals - he had 3 sets
they are spot on  - think they change to block around 89 though

so if you want the block type bmx museum had those i seem to remb
need them for the cruiser i have thats a 91 as well

 but not brought any of these yet so don't know how good they are

but reckon cos they are simple style some one on here could knock some up easy

Also Galin Starlin is over VBMX mid school and as a ex factory free agent he's the source of all info !
and i think his dad managed the team for a while as well

lets hope the purple curse don;'t follow you to this one then - lol
cheers Kev

Cheers Kev much appriciated mate I'd probably be after the block ones as they are the ones on the bike at the minute (and match the padset).

 The next problem is sneaking past the wife to get to MK next year "just poping down the shops on me bike dear, back Sunday (slam)".
