how long is a piece of string? Dont take this the wrong way but there are so many choices, they weren't sold as complete bikes so its your choice...

1 piece

3 piece

what is your budget?

Check the museum for ideas

budget doesnt matter, its just got to look the mutts nuts, i would like it all to be chrome tho....

theres a set of Mint, Show Condition Redline Flites Full Wrap 180's for $650 on ebay at the moment...

Might as well start at the top!

People go crazy for their Flights and their Profiles but simple 1-piece cranks are always best. Cheaper, better. Look for Sugino or Takagi.

well my TA is getting a one piece Ody Excalibur.

but you don't want that for an 82 mutts nuts looking one...mines an 83 being done up like a 90s one.

 

get flights.

Here here. I wont spend on flights. Too much money and i never had them bitd. Ive only got one set and i think a 1 piece can look just as nice on the right bike.

I must confess I do all my old school builds with one piece. never had a 3 piece BITD a neither did any of my mates.
