Good luck Dan ....... hope you have lots of pennies in the piggy :D

Ouch!

You know me and my builds lads, as long as I can at least get 50% close to original spec, then i'll be happy. It will be ridden of course. :coolsmiley: :daumenhoch:
Cheers for that Joff. :4_17_5:

I'm ok for the frame, forks and seat clamp so far. :daumenhoch:

Your welcome mate , Im doing one at the mo , got the bars , chrome 7X ,seat post, stem, pedals etc but thinks like the 400's ain't going to happen , likewise on the tyres ... rare as rhs . I missed out on a seat at MK which would have been nice but i do have a LB elina or kashi to fall back on .
Im sure it will be a stunner Dan whatever spec you do , really nice frames 8)

Cheers Joff, I too was thinking about sacking off the tyres and cranks - purely cos I don't like 'em. ::)

There is more than one spec depending on which country it was sold in as it also came with a one piece crank.

;D It's a laserlite Dan not a lasershite :D
Can't knock Justin tbh , posts stuff out real quick, always marks as a gift and keeps the value down . He even refunded some postage for me without asking despite me thinking the postage was reasonable for the amount of stuff i had bought :shocked: Great customer service :)

I'm with you on that dude :daumenhoch: When I picked up the white Tioga Comp III's for my Torker, they were drier than I thought they were and only lasted a couple of months :yahoo_silent: 50 bucks down the swanny ::) Riding Comp III re-issues now. Just don't ride over drains in the wet on them :D :LolLolLolLol:

Cheers Dan. :daumenhoch:
Hey Dan, I didn't know you were also building one of these! I haven't seen pics of it done so is it still work in progress or on the back burner?

I was mate but the chrome wasn't very good on it and I had the opportunity to buy a KZ-01R off Gashead, so that's my Kuwie box ticked.

Most important bits apart form the f/f :LolLolLolLol: IMO Are the the laser bars and laser post. Bung on some shiny sides and a vx cranks and it'll look sweet, mine does! 8)

I used Hsin Lung bars and a Nitto post, as close as you'll get to the originals, without the cost. :daumenhoch:

Yep that's exactly what a mate is doing with the nova he's building :daumenhoch:

If you go with as many Japanese parts as possible you won't go far wrong. :daumenhoch:

The frame and fork I no longer have. Still got everything else though. I needed the funds to buy a Frame and fork from a NOS complete. :) Its in me and my bikes. Its the best original laserlie frame I have ever seen. More pics on BMXmuseum. Link below. But I have not got round to building it up. Wish I kept it now as wanting another rider survivor. :(

This bike was big dough bitd...
When i got my Aero Pro for £300, there was one sitting beside it...
£425 it was... :shocked:
Nice bike tho...
Good luck with the build...
-
build it how you want fella,i have some laserbars but i've got galindos
on mine like ellis and miller used.
-
I would love some Laser bars (and for that, a post) on mine but I can't justify the cost! :crazy2:
I've therefore gone for a new Nitto via Natsukashi and some era-correct Win pros - still Japanese and a lot cheaper! :daumenhoch:
-
I'm sure there was a laser post on here in for sale the other week. :-\

Galindo GX are indeed a very good optional choice,If anyone's interested in Those?
Have riders with broken crossbar....
They need TLC/Powder/Paint or whatever they need!
Have no idea on coindamage,Will look into it....
