heres my first oldskool bike that got me back into it

The bike that got many people back into it , an 85 Master, loads were doing the rounds on ebay 4 years ago. Mrs. got it for me for xmas, was only just meant to be a frame to hang up - 50 bikes or so later now

Had loads of parts changes since I had it but this was the last one.

This is my first, a bit muddy after a wobble round Bournemouth track at the 04 oldschool meet

Put this back together in about 2002 but didn't get into the oldschool scene till 2004 when it was raced at bournemouth (without the Patterson stickers which had been on since the 80's)

even though i've been riding for last 23 years i'm only now starting my first old school build. gonna be hunting for parts for a while methinks but anyway here's a start

hopefully i should have it done for the summer and bust a double decade and a quickspin on it.

Just completed this today. Not strictly my first build as I played about with a TA and a DB Silver Steak a good few years ago.

But this is the first in 10 years.

More pics in Tech and Rest.

An 86 MKII Chrome and Red Street Beat but unfortunately I haven't got any pics of it because someone fooking nicked it before I got chance

It's was basically the bike I bought to ride in the early to mid 90's and when I went in to semi retirement it went in the garage until I decided to clean it one day and start thinking about bikes again. Then I lent it to my brothers lad out of sympathy because he'd had his BMX nicked and the thieving gypsy b4stards pinched that too. Should have known better really!

Sorry no pics.
