My 9 year old daughter gave me a wish list today for a new school build for me and it goes a little something like this
S&M Randy Brown frame
Proper ttxl bars
Primo strand v2 forks
G-sport marmoset front hub
G-sport ratchet rear hub
Primo balance rims
MacNeil conjoined v2 crank
Fly Ruben pedals
DK exo chain
Profile spline drive sprocket
Éclat burns stem
Shadow solus slim seat
Odyssey griswald grips
Demolition Vulcan v2 brake
And the list goes on.. ??? Obviously I thought, how and where did she get any of this info from???
Then I found the sourcebmx  mag 2011 to 2012 .. Not a bad build I thought ???

Dubber, where are you based and what is your riding ability?  For your budget you shouldn't need to change a thing on what ever you end up getting.  That WTP looks like a top bike  :daumenhoch:

J, that pink KHE is the nuts!  Looking at getting a NS myself (lets see what the fuss is about) and nearly bought that Stereo treble on eBay last week but it sold before I put a third offer in after a couple of cheeky testers.  Got me eye on something else though  :daumenhoch:
