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

Great start mate , the rims look like they are comming up well

Looking at the bits and pieces you have there , it's going to be a nice first build

Keep us updated mate

Hope you haven't forgotten about the 'duster' build off

xGoose · « **Reply #21 on:** December 13, 2009, 10:34 AM »

Cheers for all the comments lads!

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!
