Right I'm posting this thread from my phone
So forgive me if it turns out shite
Won this on eBay last night and the seller is delivering it next week
Reckon it's the worst iv ever bought
I'll keep you posted how it turns out , I plan to use most the stuff that's on it
Kind of a budget build for me
Not sure how these pics will turn out
P.s it's a total survivor as it came from the shop

Looks like a lot of hard work but worth it . :daumenhoch:
-
holy fook glenister that looks like alot of work ???
-
is it lying down because its dead? ???
:)
-
I reckon that's a strip and rechrome or strip and powdercoat :daumenhoch:
-
is it lying down because its dead? ???
:LolLolLolLol:
You'll do it justice Glen :daumenhoch:
-
..."as it came from the shop" :LolLolLolLol: Awesome catch , BUT i think this is one bike that definately looks better with CWs ---
save the stickers!
-
Bit of work in that Glen :shocked: , sure it will be worth the effort in the end .
Would make a nice ongoing resto thread this mate ;)
If it turns out half as good as your other builds it will be a looker 8)
-
is it lying down because its dead? ???
:)
:2funny: :2funny:
its well dead
plan is strip it and get dan to weave his magic
reckon im going for yellow and black like the magazine test on it ,but keeping the black zeds instead of skyways
the seat will be going in the skip .... reckon its got mx1000's on ,but they could be some chang wang things
and the bars ,,,might strip and powder them aswell ,,,never a big fan of them ,,,but heyho ,,,trying to keep it as og with parts as was bought back in the day
and i said to myself the jmc was the last build this year
but when i sold a pair of bars for same price i paid for this ,,,,,,,,i couldn't resist :LolLolLolLol:
-
i think i need fooking merlin with me on that one ???

Loads of potential there Glen, hell i've saved worse than that. You'll also feel you've really achieved something when you see the transformation.
Good score, i saw it on ebay but i've already got a build on the go so i didn't bother with it.
-
Good buy glen I went to £100 but looked to far gone for any more! Prove me wrong u will !
-
must have come from a really damp shop to be in that condition . good luck with resto
-
well it arrived today ,in the back of a hearse
wtf have i let myself in for
frame seems ding free and the drop outs are pretty nice
zd's look ok to , takagi 180 crank needs a rechrome ,,and the brkaes are meteor lites or some generic crap ,,, ,bubble font ame's with ends missing :'(
started stripping it right away and started to clean up the wheels

I think there's still a slight heartbeat there Glen - you'll resuscitate her :daumenhoch:
-

Burn that seat please Glen-just for me. ;)

Did the seat post come out ok Glen? Proper rusty that but will be a top resto :daumenhoch:
-
I reckon you should have left it as is mate and just took it apart and cleaned.
Kills me to see the decals taken off. :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
Mat the seatpost came straight out and the headset to
Struggleing with the pedals at the moment
But I'll be giving them a good twating tonight
I know what you mean James

The chrome is to far gone

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/v716/glenbett/IMG_1679.jpg)
rust removal from the crank ,,, needs a rechrome
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/v716/glenbett/IMG_1681.jpg)
the frames come up alright ,but still needs a refinish

Fantastic rescue the gay pensioner.

Looking forward to seeing the finished build. Are you going to match the bi-weekly review bike? I started out that way then drifted a bit.... I have a set of kenda whitewalls if you want em. Not desperate to part with em but happy to contribute to what looks like a great build in progress. PM me if you want them.

Dan :daumenhoch:
cheers lads
that was the intention dan ,but like you have drifted a lot :LolLolLolLol:
wanted to keep most the parts as i found it ,,, so to start swapping the zd's for skyways and the rickman bars for cw's ,,who knows
but saying that ,i think the og parts im using are the frame and forks ,bars ,wheels ,chainring , and thats about it :2funny:
was looking for some whitewalls ,,, but opted for skinwalls now as im not copying the magazine article ,,,thanks for the offer though dude :daumenhoch:
by the way yours has turned out sweet mate :4_17_5:
