Post by: troll on September 07, 2005, 11:18 PM: oh I am in heaven... nice build, I restored a white/red MX11 last year as I had one when I was a kid.

Also got a blue Redline, possibly a MX111 or 600a (not sure which) to do to.

Here's my MX11

Post by: theRuler on September 08, 2005, 08:34 AM: oh man that white redline is sweet, with the white tuffs.
my mxII is stripped to bare chromo. i was gonna spray it metallic blue (the colour it was in) but i may get it powdered white after seeing that.

whats the wheelbase on an MXII/III ? the toptube is a good 1.5 inches shorter than my ripper toptube, and that bike is small.

just having another look at this bike

have to say it looks awesome :)
What grips have you used there ?
Title: Re: Finished this one today MX-II
Post by: reilley1 on September 11, 2005, 07:15 PM: Thanks. They are Oury grips. Used them 25-30 years ago and are still available now and look almost as the original ones
