First off a super big thankyou to daz bmx, Del, Gashead, Doug Taylor metal finishing and everyone else who has helped my with this build. Even got to meet the man himself today and show him one of his early builds

Well this is my first full resto build as a big kid, so go easy all. Nah tell me what you think, i would like to know. I am changing the CWs for some pro bars, i am also changing the seat clamp and i now have some sugino crank end caps. Then i just need to change the seat post, as this one is from a rider.

So she in very nearly finished. But she is now in a box and on her way to OZ , my new home.
I hope all my bikes get there and are not to be ridden by some somalian pirates!!

If you wanna know anything peeps just ask. Yes i did make the chain myself, it took about 12hrs and a lot of cans of beer.

most parts are Nos or minty.........

I will get some better pics when she is rebuilt in OZ

Hi Marty,

Arrive in Brisbane on the 9th of June, that is where my better half is from. A bit far from Perth. But i am sure we will visit Perth one day.

Thanks for all the positive feed back everyone.

And a big thankyou to Gashead for the Curtis Pro bars. Yes at last...

Great colour scheme, shame you didn't have it back in the day you would have been the envy of many

Why the BBboot though, the bearings are sealed jobs for the 400's?

Cheers Frosty,

Yeah i just wanted to add a little extra colour around that area. But a very valid point, when she is rebuilt i will try it without.
