This'll be my first BMX build for 20+ years, been collecting the bits for about a year and finally got the last bit today and got working on the bits I need to resto.

Sorry looking PC rims stipped and ready for polishing


Spokes, bearings, Shimano VIA hubs, and nips degreased


Pro Class stem ready for polishing


Takagi CR and Pro Class spider ready for stripping and polishing


Started polishing the first rim today



More to follow soon ;)

Cheers for all the comments lads!  :daumenhoch:

I started this project before Id found out there was such a big online OS BMX following, and if it werent for RAD in particular, with its inspiring resto threads, I wouldnt ve put in half the effort to restore this bike. So cheers to the resto boys for that ;) and god bless the tech n resto stickies! :daumenhoch:
