my bike from BITD is coming along.....
« on: September 01, 2007, 07:30 PM »
This has been a real struggle to get together so far, but its getting there.

i still need:

white mushroom grips
skyway frame pads
whitewalls
 ive got decals sorted. need to change a few bits brake wise and pedals but i went out on it today, and i remember the view!

rode surprisingly nice!

it will be a real mish mash of parts when done, but thats how it was.

my last bike, that i worked up to by swapping, trading, restoring begging and borrowing, before i passed my bike test, at 17.

seems strange having it back as i never thought id be able to source it.

ill update the thread until it evolves into the monster it was.
completly low end, but high end in comparison to the burners that me and me mates had at the time.

yep. your all wrong so far.


considering that when i bought the frame in the early 80's, and it was brush painted in gloss black paint, with no decals or makers name, you can see how hard it has been to find another......and why i had such a mish mash of parts on it...

I'm trying to do the same with my bike from BITD too. I have lots of the parts I used to have but i'm missing the two vital ingredients, frame and forks.  :LolLolLolLol:

That's so cool....

I want to bring back my bike from bitd now.... only problem is, I reckon it'd be impossible.... not seen a gusseted MCS Magnum frame since mine, the unstamped Landing gear I got after busting my tange tx1200's would cost a good few quid, and the 9 million piece Ame grips I had I never saw anywhere else even then.....then you got mx1000 with dx lever and terrycable to find, robinson pro or cw pro bars (depending on which version I was reincarnating)..... even the blue 2.125 snakebelly front and 1.75 whitewall shopper rear would be a challenge.....
