This one has taken a while, a new scoot for my lad

[MartyC]

As some of you know, I like to take my time with my builds and I've nearly finished putting a little new school race GT together for my lad.  Still got to sort the brake out and get the chain on but I'm in need of a couple of little washers for the front fork dropouts, they are like little tophat washers in 10mm if anyone has any or know where to get some 

Some big thanks fo a few people for helping me out on this:

Moschops (f&f and most of the parts)
DJ Benice (although the tyres didn't fit as not enough clearance on the forks)
Ruler (his tyres do fit!)
Banaramaman (wheels - see they did come in handy afterall)
Some fella off BMXtalk for the bars (sorry can't remember his name but TDB picked them up for me)
My mate Colin (for letting me use his workshop to polish the cranks & pedal bodies, for getting the pedal cages powder coated and for machining the rims to a "shineside" stylee  )

I think it's come out really well and has an old school look to it  .

Here's how I got it...



Here's how it looks now...








It kind of matches my GT24...

Going to take him to Hayes tomorrow so he can see first hand what it's all about; I might take the bike with him as he's going to need to get used to it as he only came off stabilisers a couple of months ago 

[se bikes]

That's a nice ride 

My littlun has a GT Micro mini which he loves to bits, light as fook and a blody good buy.

See ya at Hayes tomorrow, my 2 lil peeps will roll round with him if he wants company 

[RATTY]

Marty, find us lot tomorrow, theres enough of us to look out for him, then you can race OS as well

[superbikedan]

stuff rom , bring him to Daggers on a Thursday night, get him racing

Oi Dan, I thought I marked your card back in 1982   



Good idea Marty, let him make his own mind up, but dont let superbike near him

[Dingobmxer]

Nice one Marty 

another racer in the fold 

  DINGO

[superbikedan]

Nice one Marty 

another racer in the fold 

  DINGO

no  another freestyler in the fold

[RATTY]

Oh the battle of the bulges is on... Marty, if he races I will sort you out a wikkid badbmx car sticker

[superbikedan]

marty  if he freestyles he will get endless supply of pot noodle,  as many free goes on gorf or galaxian

only old skoolers will remember these games   so sad

and get to hang with the true old skool leg ends that is pat and stupps

how kool is that for a kid 

but the down side is that most of the freestyle riders are always drunk, stoned or just wrong

now the racing guys are slick, fit, train at least once a week,  if i was his dad i would choose.












freestle any day

[RATTY]

This is where I name drop a few cool racers who are nearly as cool as stupps was!!!! But I think Dan killed it with the pot noodles

[superbikedan]

   made me laugh as well,   pot noodles   rats they still sell really well today

[RATTY]

I loved pot noodles dan, do they still sell them at rOm?

[superbikedan]

I loved pot noodles dan, do they still sell them at rOm?

  yes mate,   how sad is this,  i had one not long ago. i was fooking starving

[RATTY]

Cant go rom without a pot noodle...pmsl, hope they got some bloody coffee in for rom jam lmk if they aint Dan, I will bring some with me

[Gary72]

  yes mate,   how sad is this,  i had one not long ago. i was fooking starving

You must have been starving to eat that crap

My advice for the dad is dont spend too much too soon; my eldest at 6 raced for 10 months last year and then decided he dont want to anymore. wallet £600 lighter
So we are now going to rOm in the morning.

[Dingobmxer]

Why limit his riding?
welcome to a new BMXer 
Racing/ramps/park/street its all BMX and he wont get burnt out 

  DINGO

p.s thanks for pitting me against Sapranobikedan fella's
