my fisrt new-school..ish ride.

Here we go then!

Kink farside frame with Rad forks.

Over the last year I've made the journey from getting back into BMX, starting to build a GT pro performer as a rider, being told by everyone that it was a stupid idea!
getting the message-ish and ending up with what you see here.

The tuffs, I'm sure will be gone quite quickly (once I've kickturned myself dizzy)  I Just couldn't face having my first bike since 1984 without a coaster brake!

A huge thanks to stodgy for his help in getting me through the process of choosing all the parts for this bike..... and then spending a whole day building it for me! You are an incredibly kind and generous dude and I'm very much in your debt.

thanks to driverchris for the photos (and the muscle)

here you go.

Sweet, let's ave a go!!  How much that cost to put together fella?   

As a rough estimate on this one? somewhere between £800-£1000.

I just had to stop keeping tabs, I'm the worlds biggest skinflint, and this new "hobby" was making me feel very selfish and wasteful!

I continued to build the GT at the same time, witch meant that I was already spending twice as much as I'd originally alloted to get the job done!

I do have every part listed with the price I paid for it somewhere, but the day I started adding it together I got such a sweat on that I quit before I got half way down the page

Looks cool John and thanks for the props me old sausage, you're a very nice chap too! We had fun that day...whenever I use my bastard file I think of you. 

Now, take those Tuffs off and let's put some proper wheels on it.

Finally getting some professional help with the back now mate, Lasers and stuff! feeling the benefit already

I'm going to wait for the all clear before I start riding! I'm on a strict no exorcise warning from the chiropractor ( I'll be bringing up the rear on the charity ride though)

I'll give you a shout on the wheels as soon as I'm up n' running

[aerostylie]

Dude, that bike rocks

New skool don't do it for me but that looks well sweet, stands out from the crowd spesh with the tuffs and colour combo.

Nice one
