PLEASE READ THE TEXT BEFORE LOOKING AT THE PICTURES

I have just finished building my SE Racing Retro Quadangle.

Now everybody knows that all the retro looptail Quads are powder blue in colour....... NOT THIS ONE!!

As soon as this bike was released I knew what I was going to do with it and it has turned out to be stunning.

I hope to think that I always bring something new to the table with each of my builds - remember my yellow retro GT? my orange/white Superstar Parkinson, even my latest 99% NOS Roger DeCoster, I try to do different things with every build.

Well this time I have created, what I think is the ultimate retro BMX, on each of my previous retro builds I have always used some Old School parts to create the look. Not this time, I wanted to make an old school looking bike, but with completely new and up to date parts.

So here she is, my retro looptail Quadangle....................

That's a peach....It pays to think outside the box.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I really love this bike and it has turned out better than I hoped.

Stodgy, I rarely ever comment on other peoples builds, but I do see your point. I have cringed at some of the loopy quads appearing on t'other site. The superb Doug Taylor's near to Bristol did the chroming and what an amazing job they have done. Look at any of Nicks (Gashead) recent chrome builds and you can see the quality in their work. Good pricing and quick turn around too (well quick for some chromers).

Flaz, thanks for the big up dude and as for the Arsenal comment, after this past season I think I may start agreeing with you
