Make it ridable, no more! Just take yourself back to the 90s, and pretend its your rider

Phew! I thought you were going to break out the TA stickers for a minute!

I think it'd look great with a spruce-up, some new tyres etc.

Lazarou · « **Reply #3 on:** July 10, 2007, 10:07 AM »

.....and they are a fantastic ride!

harris · « **Reply #4 on:** July 10, 2007, 10:08 AM »

im kinda thinking the same,just was not sure of how far to go .
spruce up then that will do me .

Lazarou · « **Reply #5 on:** July 10, 2007, 10:11 AM »

New tyres, new cables, true wheels, clean, regrease, dial brakes, all i would do.

Yep, what Laz said with the addition of fresh grips.

that dirt bros is a slice of bmx history

theres an o/s survivor on your site i keep going back to dan, it just looks so right,

I would say get rid of the gyro and just have a rear, straight cable.

You also might wanna change the chainring to a disk n ring with a sprocket pocket (pref the early white one). Or, I have got a chainring that might be better than that oddy one. I'll take a pic for ya.

Make it rideable

Then

Buy a lumberjack shirt and some Ghetto Wear cargo shorts and hit the streets with it!
