I thought about putting "All of the above" as the last option but i figured everyone would just go for that
.... come on pick ONE

I voted hunting down the parts, nothing like scanning Ebay and RAD every evening for the missing bits to your build.

One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

I really enjoy sourcing parts, planning the build (colours and parts) and doing deals here and there to pull all the bits together.
But I do love restoring a part that looks past saving and bringing it back to life.

i think when it's new paint and ready for building, or just after you put the decals on.

I loved scouring for parts ..the first thing i do even now as soon as i fire my laptop up is get to "for sale" section on here and then ebay ..
I really got into stripping and restoring my frame and forks , was buzzin like fook when i`d painted and stickered it ..... i took loads of photos at every stage and put them all together to see it from start to finish!!!
It was great to finish it up and think " thats all my own work " , and the best buzz by far is when people see it or stop you and say "nice bike mate"
I took mine into l.b.s and he took a load of pictures of it to show the haro rep when he next came in ....that`s validation for ya!
IT`S A LABOUR OF LOVE !!!

Love getting the elusive bits,seeing the thing take shape and then going out on it falling off and messing it all up.
