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.

Restoring the frame and forks so i have a nice canvas to work with

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 have a fairly clear cut idea in my haed of what i want to do, so its getting everything together.....then i allocate myself a hour or 2 and get it on.

None of the above !

Picking up the parcel from the post office does it for me

Telling the mrs how much it cost. Gets her goat every time.......

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

i foooooookin hate building bikes me! takin' them out n puttin the first layer of shite and a few scratches n dings on em and pulling big fook off skids on the tyres you waited ages to source for for it, kinda makes ya feel warm inside

Wheres the 'riding it' option?

HARODAVE · « **Reply #14 on:** March 11, 2009, 07:07 PM »

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.

steve Beech TA · « **Reply #16 on:** March 11, 2009, 07:31 PM »

Think it got to be a combination of all but i love to find the bits and open the parcel when it arrives, its like Christmas every time.

currio · « **Reply #17 on:** March 11, 2009, 08:32 PM »

I dunno, I guess its one of them, either way, its all good.
Tell ya' what's a fooker though, realising you're probably a year older
