I've got about 4 old school builds to start or finish.

Ater that though it's probably going to be restricted to one a year and make sure that it's a good one. They'll all be either mid or new school then as well. Starting with my Hoffman EK.

ill be doing one build only i think that will be haro freestyler gen 1 replica.

My own take on Harris' Dirt Bros TA. but currently I can't afford a TA frame, so that's just a dream.

WARDY · « **Reply #7 on:** December 07, 2007, 08:17 AM »

I think i wanna do a quad angle, firebird freestyler and a nice cruser. I got me VDC changa long f/f and bars , but undecided about this at the mo(as me mind changes like the wind) whether i like it or not, liked it when i bought it, then not , then liked, then not $:-\$

make sure your ceiling height is high enough to take the shower cubicle and tray you buy.

trust me, this is important.

Looks like youve used a bad builder in the past JT!

munners · « **Reply #12 on:** December 07, 2007, 08:54 AM »

I want to do a US made GT performer in Fiola yellow stylie! Boring i know but i used to love them BITD. Still gotta get hold of a frame and forks if anyone knows one going?

I also wanna do a quad so i am on the lookout for one of those too. Thats all the bikes i want to finish my collection. Aint into race bikes or VDC's. $:-\$

I have another chrome skyway on the go which will be finished very soon and also a Kuwi laserlite which i havent started yet. May flog that soon if i dont get the post and bars.

Flatcap · « **Reply #13 on:** December 07, 2007, 08:56 AM »

84 Sport which will be a rep of mine bitd.....and a concrete bowl or vert ramp in my garden!

Daz.

Swivel · « **Reply #14 on:** December 07, 2007, 09:02 AM »

Oooooo well, my 84 Pro Performer needs complete, my Gen 1 also and got this new Lazerlite frame the other day, so will be doing that too... as long as the price of parts don't keep going up it should be a good year

no mate, the build was awesome, really really pleased. they lowered the floor to give me head height as I'm 6' 2", we knew it'd be tight as the roof height was low, it's a semi, so we could raise the overall roof height. But I never thought when I ordered the the shower cabinet and tray how tight it would be, as the shower sits on plinth anyway to allow access to underneath, as the floor can't be taken up.

anyway, one very expensive low profile stone resin shower tray later and all was good.

the bedroom is fantastic, another thing, decide where your tv is going and have the cables put in the wall, with socket and aerial point where you want it to go, for a nice slick flat screen no wires look.

think this is off topic now....oh no it said "build" i think we are ok.

Moose · « **Reply #16 on:** December 07, 2007, 09:25 AM »

Next year I'll be mostly building this (well helping in my little way)

brass monkey! · « **Reply #17 on:** December 07, 2007, 10:05 AM »

2008 Builds……

Nothing planned as such, but likely to be another Cruiser Build, plus either a 70's bike or something a bit different,…..I would also like to do an MT Super Fox or Silver Fox

theRuler · « **Reply #18 on:** December 07, 2007, 10:32 AM »

Del · « **Reply #19 on:** December 07, 2007, 10:34 AM »

I hope to get a couple more 85 Haro's completed, my Gen1 (maybe) and I'm going to change my Quadangle slightly.

Pete Quad said he's got loads of these just laying about making the place look untidy

munners · « **Reply #21 on:** December 07, 2007, 10:56 AM »

Listen, i know Pete to talk to but he is hard to take seriously!

Has he really got loads of GT's or has he sold up?

Pete never sells anything !!

He is the original 'hoarder' !!

I decided recently (as we all do from time to time) that I had finished building BMX's (old, mid and new school). It is weird then that I currently have 4 frames awaiting parts and I am looking for a high end new school race bike.

Is this madness ever going to end?
