lol, nope your builds have been great and I've liked them both, we just disagreed on the set-up of one but it's all good on my part  :daumenhoch:

My wife's nan used to say "life would be boring if we all came 6 to a box" ;)

Nice one,Love it.Pedals look fantastic.The tuffs and tyres look ace too.If you are not worried too much about era correctness I would swap the calipers for 880's front and rear,then you can run a potts mod and have your levers the right way round  :daumenhoch:

Funny you should say that, the frame & forks are Dec 1983 so I wanted to keep it looking circa 84-85 (with a twist) I've actually got some 880 in blue that i got from from Spen but i think this is the wrong bike for a pot's mod to be honest.

 Im just waiting for a couple of parts to arrive then & I'm sending off some mx 1000's for green anno !

Ah cool.the MX 1000's will be more in keeping with the bike and should look fantastic in green.i recently swapped from a rear 901 to an 880 for the same cable routing reasons.I think every freestyler should have a potts mod!!It represents the ingenuity and innovation which was going on at the time,especially in freestyle-As well as making the bike function much better for what it was intended for.Look forward to seeing this with the brakes  :daumenhoch:

I think for the 2 sets posted it was around £70-£90 inc taxes might actually have been a bit more  .

They also had red but had sold out of white, I was really interested to get some in green I know that Duro make them & they are available in Australia as well. It just seems that theres a demand out there & in the USA so the distributors can order the minimum quantities in order to get the colours made.
