I'm from Australia, and while you still need to be patient, it's not too hard to find Spin wheels over here. The Spins that were on EBay Uk had a big crack in them. (my mate got burnt on that sale)

Tanks for the props guys, glad you like them.

I've got this 98 Taj that I've kept almost factory spec for 4 years. Back in the day my bikes stayed stock for about 2 seconds. This will get a custom rebuild just the way I rode my Taj's BITD

The main thing I am waiting on is a set of hubs from the US, cranks and a few other small bits. I should be able  to get a bit more done over this weekend. Problem is I have the General Lee and Big Daddy to finish aswell

Here's the 97 Big Daddy that I'm working on, it's had a few slight tweaks since this pic was taken. When this is complete I'll get some better pics.

Post by: Gordy on July 07, 2013, 06:13 AM

I had a few problems with the old cranks, so I've sourced and fitted a set of 170mm Primo's with  Tenderiser pedals and Graveyard sprocket. I've just gotta sort the brakes out and change to a set of tan wall tyres.

Here's an update on the General Lee, I've thrown on some 4pce bars on, but not too sure if they'll stay. I much prefer 2pce bars. What do you think?

Here's an update of the barcode, wearing its battle scars with pride.

This was built up with about 80% of the original parts that I used on my bike back in the day. I'm pretty stoked that I stored them for all these years. I can almost remember when and where I made all of those scratches.

This might be my favourite build I've done.

I'm loving survivor spec builds at the moment and Ive had this "Ramp Room made 1996 Hoffman Flash entombed inside a cardboard box, so it was time for a rebuild. I used all survivor parts and borrowed some bits from another bike. These decals are impossible to find, so while this is in my possession it'll never refinish the paint.

I just finished mocking up this 95 S&M Holmes today. I'm still undecided whether this will stay survivor spec or to give it a fresh coat of powder? Until then, I'm just gonna ride it until I can make up my mind.

Imho - survivor all day long. Paint doesn't look that bad on it, it'll still have all it's old battle scars :)

No offence to peeps, but unless mid stuffs really buggered refinishing em always makes em look a bit sterile.

The only reason why i have had thoughts of a fresh powder job is because i currently have 7 black bikes in my collection and that the paint is pretty trashed on this frame.  Anyway, im just gonna keep riding it until i make up my mind.

One of the things I like best about your bikes is you use black wall tyres   :daumenhoch:

Post by: Gordy on February 19, 2014, 09:41 PM

Thanks fellas.

Yeah I love black walls, it's only recently that I've put tan walls on one of my bikes, and that was because they were cheaper and easier to source.

Once you go black, you'll never go back.

I had a bit of time to play around with the Big Boy today. I fitted the gyro, headset, seat clamp, cranks and sprocket guard. I'm still waiting on the brakes and chainwheel bolts to arrive then I can finish this sucker.

Here's a couple progress shots.

Post by: Gordy on May 02, 2014, 10:46 PM

Time for an update.

I had some clearance issues with the tyres, so I had to go with some skinnier ones so they wouldn't rub on the breaks or frame. I have also fitted Peregrine pedals and seat clamp, AD990's, pegs and chain. I'm just going to trim the front cable a bit and it's complete for the moment. A Super Pro wheel set will go on when the rims come back from chrome.

Great thread Gordy, love the Big Boy, makes me miss mine!  :4_17_5:

Title: Re: My Mid Collection.
Post by: Gordy on June 19, 2014, 01:49 PM

Thanks fellas, I appreciate the kind words.

Rob, I always loved your Big Boy and is pretty much the sole reason why I bought the frame kit. I had saved several pictures of your build on my computer and when a frame came up for sale, I just had to snap it up. I basically modelled my build off of yours with a few small changes. So thanks for the inspiration mate.

The Monocoque is a labour of love, I can still remember soiling my pants when I first saw it on the cover of BMX Plus back in 1997. For many years, i had always thought about that bike and asked myself, "whatever happened to that bike?"
Last year, I had purchased a bulk lot of BMX Plus magazines off EBay and it had the January 1997 issue in there which had the Captain America Monocoque on the cover. About a week later, the magazines arrived and the same day a Monocoque Elite frame came up for sale, I snapped that bad boy up pretty quickly and then had a crazy idea of recreating the cover bike.

I did a little bit of investigation on the bike and found out that it was still stored at Haro HQ in the States, it just so happened that John Buultjens (brand manager for Haro bikes) used to live in the same town as me in Australia and we rode with one another every once in a while. I sent him an email and asked firstly asked whether the bike was for sale? John shut that idea down pretty quick, lol. So I asked whether I could have some Hi-Res pictures so I could recreate it the bike, a few days later he came through with the goods and I had some very good reference pictures.

I then asked a mate of mine who is a very talented air brush artist and midschool lunatic, whether he would take on the spray job. He was super pumped on the idea, so we worked out a plan and the above pictures are the result of his hard work. I have been busy sourcing parts for the last 12 months and basically have everything now ready to complete the bike.

Here's a build thread that I have been updating on OZBMX.

Working on this 98 Hoffman Taj at the moment, im trying to get it specced as i had mine BITD. The blue ODI grips will get the arse and I'm still undecided whether I want to keep the Superforks as I ran Pitchforks at one point too. the Superforks were ridicously heavy and it did away with the ugly ass headset.
Anyways here's a progress pic.

I have been a little quiet around here of late, but I am still working on a few bikes.

I recently got my S&M Kris Bennett built again after I needed to source a few missing parts. It's not 100% complete yet, but it's not far off.

I've also been working on my polished Monocoque Elite.
I wanted to change this one up a bit, as it seems as though everyone is building Monocoques (including myself) with the same formula of Spin wheels, Shimano DX brakes, Answer Allumilite forks and some form of alloy crank set. I decided to make this look a bit "stock", so on went Group 1 forks, Fusion 3 pce cranks and a set of Kore Speedhoops with a Hayes mechanical disc brake, for some trick factor. I still need to dial everything in as I am waiting for a brake cable to arrive.
This bike is going to be a rider, so I'll be stoked when it gets finished.

I got the Monocoque finished yesterday in its current guise, I'm pretty happy with how it's come out.
The wheels are so much heavier compared to the Spins that were on it previously, but they look so much beefier and complete the look that I wanted from this bike.

I finally have the ACE Holeshot finished, I still may change the forks to a set of Brand X or McMahons if I can find a clean pair but the Answers will do for the moment. I just fitted a PAUL brake lever and a Chip N Dale decal was the final piece of the puzzle. For those that don't know Andy Currie is the man behind ACE (Andy Currie Enterprises) and he also owns and operates a bike shop shop called Chip N Dale BMX.

Anyway onto the pics, hope you like.

Its a TNT Hwa Fong Daddy.

I had a slightly later model of these back in the day, and have been trying to track one down for a about 5 years. I was lucky enough that a mate of mine found one for sale, immediately bought it to secure it, then on sold it to me. I was happy enough to throw him some extra cash for hooking me up with it, because its a grail frame of mine.
If you want to see a beautiful example of one, check out midschooljons yellow 95 model. Its truly a work of art.

I have a bike show on this weekend, so I've been busy tweaking and finishing off a few builds ready for the show.
The first is the General Lee which I've had for years, but the frame has sat on a shelf for the last few years after borrowing some parts to complete another bike, after sourcing some replacements, ive been able to get it buil again.

I've also tweaked the Bennett after building a new set of wheels, DK 48H hubs laced to Sun Ringle Rhyno lite rims.

It's been a few months since I've logged on here, after being busy with house renovations and selling my property.
Well now that's all sorted, I've got a bit of time to finish off some bikes.

I had some drama with the previous powdercoater who refinished my TNT Hwa Fong Daddy, they did such a rubbish job that it just left me pissed off with the bike. So after the frame and fork sat on a shelf for a few months while I tried to build up some motivation to finish it again. I stripped off the old powder and had it painted in factory gloss black, fitted decals and gave it a quick mock up before I finish the build this weekend.

Here's a couple cheeky pics.
