Lovely bike

Replica bikes are the hardest and take longest to do ,
but are the most rewarding though

Was taking a wee trip down memory lane there, couldn't see these pics on RAD anywhere so here they are. Cheers to LeeMadz for takin them!
I still intend to keep working on this project, Flight 400s when I can afford them and any parts I find out about. The Sharp grips are unfortunately splitting so I'm on the lookout for another pair. The griploks have faded quite a bit but I suppose Neil's were probably faded from that Southsea Sun!!

Not the fat mealer I was back then!

Dave, this bike is legendary, a first class job. I hope you don't mind that i've looked at yours as a reference for mine. Mine's more of a Stella Dave tribute bike.

rad_pitt · « **Reply #42 on:** January 25, 2012, 05:52 PM »

Ace is that Dave, and even nicer in the flesh - was just gonna say these would be good reference pics for you Dan

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #44 on:** January 30, 2012, 03:35 PM »

i liked neil far better.. great project !

kungfunky · « **Reply #45 on:** January 30, 2012, 05:04 PM »

this really is a cool ride and such an icon from bitd. I imagine Andy was a little choked when he came face to face with it. Great build.

Magic that.

Orange bikes rock.

welsh denny · « **Reply #47 on:** February 04, 2012, 03:26 PM »

amazing build. one of my fav bikes of all time that. started building a retro style ruffell bike from a hoffman sd 4 (the big daddy after kevin jones quit) and other bits i had. same clolour scheme but bit more modern. hope to finish it by thursday night as its going on show with my green 85 haro master in a cardiff nightclub.

got to polish up 2 ad 990's and the pivotal seatpost from sandblasted and whack some cranks and bearings in. super tight fit so gonna grind slightly in work.

I really like that, if you don't mind me asking, how much has it cost you to build up so far? Also, you should try and get a pair of 9t skyways in orange, make it a bit more modern
