Dave3172, thanks for the boost on the colour scheme mate. I was thinking about adding some yellow to it so the decals fit in more. Maybe just use yellow dust caps 8)

Powder coating cost me £10 for forks/frame, bars and seat post (that never fit). They even did it twice as some grease ran out of the head tube and mixed with the wet powder lol

Got a set of alloys done in gloss black at same time for £40 also. Bargain coaters and top job :daumenhoch:

Well pedals are on ill get pictures tomorrow.

So i have been searching for a plate for this build as i am a race plate fan :grin:

Got this from USA and when it arrived it look filthy so i cleaned it up and added it.

The only thing is im not sure if its a moto-x plate as it looked massive when i first put it on :?   Now its been on a day its growing on me :smile:



Had this made to add something different :lol:


I have some decals to match the pad im putting on when my other brakes arrive.

What does everyone think about the Uni Crossfire plate?

LOL Jof- Im scared to use them atm as ill remove the ACS writing before MK  :2funny: ceramics or nobblies needed  ;)

Magna, Bobafett and Monkian- Cheers for being so kind and showing and interest :coolsmiley: I really think this system is quality and wrothy to put on an expert freestyle bmx, even if its for show or use :)

The bottom caliper should be on inside-out so the cable can run across the other side of the frame. Iv also got a picture of a rider with a front and rear from the double cable/1 lever :shocked:

Ron even asked if i wanted the design changed to be more pleasing on the eye  :LolLolLolLol: clever man is our Ronnie. All done by  :smiley6600:  :smitten:  :4_17_5:

Im pleased there is some of you folks that like it, as i know they wernt a very popular bmx bitd. Something a bit funky and unusual normally takes my interest.

Brettypeeps-One caught my eye and i had to do a deal. Mostly made up from parts that id had from change of mind on other builds.

Pickle-You sound like you have taste like myself LOL

Aerostylie-You are more than welcome to park your bike alongside mine as yours is sweet , and the 1st finished one id ever seen.

Sid- cheers for that mucka, i built it to go on my Beetle roofrack but now im scared to tie it up and for it to fall off hahah

Very, very sweet ride Deano, loving the orange (my favourite colour at the moment).

My next race bike is to be in the same colourway.
