Don't get too excited though ................. it's another cheapy , 1984 Grand Prix

Bit like bus's my builds at the moment, no builds for 6 months then two come at once

This was completed the night before MK and i have been waiting for a break in the weather to get some pics taken

The frame and bars were actually FREEBIES donated to me by fellow RADster MATSKYBEAT , he did charge me for the padset though

To keep the build cost's down I actually rattle canned the frame, forks and bars

Big THANKS to the following RAD members:
MATSKYBEAT , what can you say about someone who gives you a frame , bars and numerous other BMX goodies ...... Top man

Thanks Matt

BOBAFETT , Self proclaimed 'MR MONGOOSE' and all round top lad

Thanks for the help John

JTSmooth , Hubs ,spokes and various other bits and pieces, good guy and not a bad bike rider either

Cheers John

Not forgetting the trademark 'colour coded stand'

What do you reckon RADsters

Top job Jonathan. The paint on this is excellent in the flesh and does actally make it stand out more when you see it. The time and patience you took is a credit to you matey. Well done

Top work Jonathon - as you know I think the rattle can paint job is just amazing in the flesh

Considering the layout on this build mate it's unbelievable how she's turned out - she's a cracker

Just need to get them goose grips now

Stunner Loving the black and white colour combo as well

ruff n tuff · « **Reply #15 on:** July 25, 2009, 09:12 PM »

nice! looks like you have a conveyor belt of projects on the go! Where do you get all these wheels? Especially for a budget build? Did you paint the rims?

trasher · « **Reply #16 on:** July 25, 2009, 09:30 PM »

Not 'THE SILVER VAN' of death, the one that Neil entered and was never quite the same when he emerged $:-\$

When i rolled up at MK I did think that van was running a bit rich , the fumes comming out of it where quite intense

Yeah Das the wheels have been 'Rattled' as well

I pick up stuff on RAD and the bay . These were pretty rough when i got hold of them for £18

Bit of time , new spokes and new hubs and they look like new now

Joff i seriously want this one

goose

Not for sale .................. unless the price is right

Seriously though Darren I can't part with any up to now

I wondered how long it would be before someone said that

I actually thought it would happen on me first build ' Silverfox' thread

Ahem

I believe that should read..........

"A very kind RAD member lent me a pair of nice new mongoose grips so my build could be complete for MK and then told me I could keep hold of them and just to replace them when I got round to buying a set but i was too tight to take him up on the offer"
