Cheers rich i have a haro freestyler surviour as well an 85 but bought it complete i just finnished it well changed some parts like foot pegs crank and tyres changed them to haro bits and now its done i am chomping on the bit to get started again its like a drug its taking over my life the birds well impressed

[Waxintaxin]

In fact trying to source old yet "Right" bits will be much harder than fitting NOS parts ,you are going to need the right patina lol

Rich

[muddstud]

You answered my next question what bits did they have only thing i have is a one piece redline crank its old but i dont know the age of that so anybody with info pictures or genral stuff please let me know as i need all the help i can get and would be real glad for it as i am going to leave it as a surviour or i feel i will be thrown to the radbmx lions    and you boys know your stuff cheers guys 

[Waxintaxin]

It may have come as a full bike , but not so sure , most came as frame sets , so parts are your choice

got to be redline 401s for that age as i dont think 400s or profiles were about that early

spokes such as 7c or 7bs  or tuff 1s

dia compe 890s

all era correct for that frame



 

[Moose]

Ooo, I missed this thread. That looks really cool.

I'd go with a tuff neck square corner stem

old 1pc cranks (old ones)

rat-trap pedals

if you can't get the arayas or tuff 1's you could try femco's or CMC's (I think it was CMC) or any heavy duty steel rims

What bars were about at this time

[Mattdub]

What bars were about at this time

Race Inc or Tuf Neck alloy 

Early SE bars maybe ?

[Frosty]

Weren't the first tuff II's out by 1980??

some of the alloy cranks were available too dura, 600, I'm sure the Suntour VX's also.

Have a look in the museum on this site plus, check out the SE bikes and older mongeese etc on the http://www.bmxmuseum.com/ site too.

Sweet find by the way

[stuntmaster]

sweet find and yep they are real ,same as raceinc forks on ra 10 `s

[jT Racing]

vx cranks or dura ace for sure, i like 600's but i would go for vx's first on a ripper. MX5 headset(if you can find one) redline alloy v bars or race inc bars, mx seat, araya 7c's (or 7b's if your budget goes that far) square corner tuf neck, shimano tourney brakes etc,etc  just have to remember it's not mine 'cause i wish it was.

Not that i like to give myself headache but i just got a mini ripper from the us with what i think are the same forks on it . Its tatty so think i will have to strip this one i will post some pics when it arrives with my compter knowledge should be about six month still dont know how i got last ones up thanks for replies and help will be asking for more real soon      

[jT Racing]

should be landing gear lites on the mini.

[muddstud]

Well at last i might have a pair when i saw the ones on the blue ripper thought the bloke had had my pants down without the aid of the vass    but looks like its not as bad as i first thought . Are the mini rippers hard to come by its the first one i have come across and when i was a kid i used to sit look at pictures and drool for hours my little lad thinks he is getting it but he is sadly mistaken cant wait to see his face xmas day when he opens a toys r us action man dog shit special  the camcorder will be rolling  growing up would not be the same unless one kid had the piss taken out of him and i am more than willing for him to be it seen has he colured my new haro tyres in over this weekend little ba-tard 

[muddstud]

Are the cook bros cranks any good or not old enough or is the pinchless redline crank better and what age would they be

He will be as popular as a fart in a space suit on xmas day when he tries to jump the old 2brick ramp in the street and makes it look like a f-cking 1000lb bomb has hit it and once again you guessed it the world shitityest dad ME will be doing his best to make another £250 you've been framed clip to fund my out of control drug like addiction bmx spending and before anyone slags me for my low smackhead like morals using my child you know you would do it too for the next kick ass part lets just hope i dont get a good offer for him as i am after a hutch pro star real bad      offers anyone
