I was bored so i decided to get this on here as i finished it a while ago and have been meaning to get round to this for a while.
I got this bike from a badly listed french ebay listing for about 50 quid.
The first pic is the one that was on ebay so i had to do a bit of research to work out which condor it was. The following pics i took once it had arrived and i was trying to work out if it was a chrome one or a blue one and the extent of damage and use it had had.
In this pic you can see a bit of the original blue, i scraped the paint on top off and had quite a good size patch to match a colour. I got 1 litre mixed up so it was ready for when i was gonna spray it.
This pic is the frame with 2pac primer on it, this is mid stage of preping the bike as i had to do a bit of filling on various dents and stuff.
This is with the final coat of paint.
And finaly with the stickers on, supplied by the man himself. (no, not mat hoffman.... the real legend, stodgy
)
gettin all the parts i wanted together took a while. I didnt want to do a factory replica as i like to put my own twist on a build.
i decided to use mostly peregrine parts as i just like them.
The wheels were a nasty old set that i had rechromed and relaced and worked out to probably cost more than a nos set but you live and learn.
The cd was in quite good nick but i touched in some black bits and put it on the lathe and re cut the machined part so it looks new.
The tyres were a lucky find as i'd been looking for them for a while and got them for a not too bad price.
The bars were from (dan)harris and i spotted them in a random pic that he posted showing something else to someone else, they were white and i had them rechromed and they look amazing, the chrome is far better than factory chrome.
The front brake i had from way back when so i cleaned it up and touched in various parts.
The pedals were from stodgy(again)
The stem was from an american that wouldn't send it over so i had it sent to a hotel over there where my mate was about to be staying on holiday.
Heres the finished result
Thanks to all those mentioned and any other part supplier. I love the finished article and this bike has a part in bmx freestyle history so i'm realy chuffed to have it in my collection
thanks for looking, joe
