Glen that looks fab...

can not wait to see your's Andy (if u build it)! 

whats a build like that set you back Glen if u do not mind me asking

[sid1972]

Bought it for about £120 couriered.  Sold the sprocket and cranks for about the same. 

Bought:
bars, grips, profiles, BB, headset, rear wheel, built the front myself, seat and post, brakes, decals, the rest I had lyring around.  I think in total it cost less than £100 all in

still got the seat, post, wheels, tyres, bars, brakes, seat clamp, grips and pedals from the orginal which Id like to sell - cheap too!
The only parts I kept was, frame, fork and stem - everything else was replaced.

  I love it dude!

Looking good! (all 3 of 'em)    Late 90s, early 2k is my favourite era (I guess it's just about still classed as mid-school?) . . . my lads were still into bikes and I still had company to dig/ride . . . what happened?

Have a 2002 (I think) NG Dirtbike on the go, bought NOS off ebay.  Built it up pretty cheaply for now as I couldn't wait to ride it but Christmas/birthday should see a few upgrades and a museum pic - hope the cranks hold out until then - last time I ran a cheapo 1 piece set up with a tack-welded chainwheel stub, it gave out on me - cue painful knee/handlebar interface.  36 x 10mm wheelset keeps the weight down so it shouldn't end up being too much of a tank.

Good job that glen, very neat.
Those frames were good to ride, wouldn't be bad today with some modern forks/wheels/cranks on it.
