Right, let's see those amazing bikes lads.
Usual 4 pics max, and a list of parts used always helps, and a link to the build thread, if you did one.
The standard of bikes every month this year, up to now has been off the scale, I'm sure September will be no different. :daumenhoch:

Taking part, for many, and this includes me, is what this competition is about. Making the numbers up and showcasing builds for everyone to see. :daumenhoch:

First time entry for me, and this one has been a long time coming.....
Frame: 1983 Birmingham WHEELS ‘Expert’ BMX in Butted Reynolds 531 tubing. Frame number 072. :Great_Britain:
Dimensions: 9 inches centre of crank to centre of top tube / seat tube junction (seat tube), 18.5inches centre of seat tube to centre of head tube (top tube). Original factory chrome finish retained.
Forks: 1983 Tioga Max Flo Aero (made by Tange) – presumed original to the build. Original finish.
Bars: Original and extremely rare pair of Birmingham WHEELS race bars, complete with Reynolds 530 tubing decal (authenticity confirmed by Anthony But – ex-BW Team racer) with a TT Racing Products ‘Jam Buttie’ Double Decka Anti-Tweak in NOS Blackberry.
Wheels: NOS Black Ukai ‘skinny’ rims (20 x 1 1/8 stamped) with original decals, as originally came on the bike. Further research and discussions with various ex-WHEELS Team members reveals they mostly raced on skinnies.
Hubs: Polished silver Son-lite Turbo with original etched logo, titanium spindles and hardware.
Lacing: Radially laced front and half-radially laced and 3x rear (with thanks to Steve69).
Tyres: NOS Panaracer ‘skinny’ 1 1/8 gumwalls.
Padset: NOS original white set with black lettering (with thanks to Khaled).
Decals: Reproduction by Del. Unused original gold set (including Dutch dealer logo) retained.
Headset: NOS Tioga MX402 sealed headset with black Tange headset lock nut.
Headset: Suntour in black – came with the frame and presumed original to the build.
Grips: Black NOS ODI Tec-7 (rare, often used for freestyle mid 80’s onwards but one of my favorites!)
Brakes: NOS MX 901.
Brakepads: Scott Mathauser finned ‘Superbrake’.
Brake Cable: 84 dated black Dia-Compe.
Brake Cable Guides: NOS black Dia-Compe.
Lever: Black NOS (still in packet) early 80’s MX-121/Tech 3.
Cranks: Rare early-80’s Hanabishi 3 piece 175mm cranks – retained from original build. These cranks took quite a bit of effort to identify, and I actually removed them from the bike at one point as I did not know what they were. Another RADBMX member eventually posted about his set and my problem was resolved. (Hanabishi was an early Team Kuwahara racer in Japan in the early 80’s who ended up briefly putting his name to various sets of cranks; not many left about today).
Crank Dustcaps: Original Hanabishi in black (took 12months of hunting to track these down).
Pedals: NOS (and NIB) black Shimano DX including original caps (plus one spare).
Chainring: Black Ammaco stamped 44T (130BCD) with NOS Sugino chainring bolts.
Chain: Half black Izumi chain with a pair of NOS black ROE Whale Tail chain tensioners.
Seat clamp: TT Racing Products ‘Jam Buttie’ Clamp in NOS Blackberry.
Seat post: Shimano DX – presumed original to the build; polished, repro black decals.
Seat: NOS black Cycle Pro Shot Gun II, date-stamped ’82 on the underside.
There's a monster build thread in the Restoration section.

Thanks to dirtskirt, jp-rebel, willo73, NORTY40, monkian, andy68 (didn’t focus on the build pics on my thread for too long I don’t think!), nikkyp, Spence, Retrodan72, Del (of course) and all of the other amazing members of RAD who commented on the thread, PM’d me with advice, criticism or general comments, sold me parts and so on…; all very much taken onboard and appreciated. Also a special thank you to ‘Spartacus’ for the amazing NOS padset, ‘animal’ for the bars, sawzall (and animal again) for all things BW and also to ‘Steve69’ for the wheel lacing and associated advice!!

I will second that... don't think I have seen as many entries in one month even on different forums. It is really good to see and just makes me want to build more varied BMX's :daumenhoch:

Whack this in October's BOTM mate, it will be a great start, 4 pics would be better though. :daumenhoch:

Great selection and hats off to the builds, skills are out there :coolsmiley:

that was hard! needed 3 votes ... I was happy, then it changed... then it changed again.
The best really was saved till last :)

Incredible month! :4_17_5:

"Back to school month vote" is harder than I expected.
Incredible nice bikes folks...... :daumenhoch:
-
Voted :daumenhoch:
-
Awsome line up again guys well done to all
-
Done it! :daumenhoch: Congrats everyone! :4_17_5:
-
Voted :)
Really difficult to decide this month as they are all shite .....
-
Done but as others that was a difficult choice. There's 3 or 4 I'd love to own!!!
Nice one Radsters, seems this is going from strength to strength!! :4_17_5:
-
Andys Gt gets my vote looks like a real race bike

Voted. Great quality this month :daumenhoch:

Voted :smitten:

It was very hard for me to see beyond the genius of the bollock-scratcher & wheel-disk combo :daumenhoch:
-
:shocked: Quality month lads :4_17_5:
I was stuck between 5 or 6 :D
Well done RADsters :daumenhoch:
-
That was the hardest month in a while to vote for.
There was so many quality builds, i didn't know whether to go with my Heart, my Head, my Friend, my Roots or my Desire :-\
In the end i went with something that was built to my taste :smitten:
It didn't help that the mods didn't clean up the thread to make it easier to compare the builds :whistle:

Congrats Bert!! :4_17_5: :daumenhoch:
Cracking month, well done to everyone for their builds, a lot of time, money & effort involved!! :4_17_5: Apart from mine of course!! :-[ :LolLolLolLol:
A few more votes this month too, good to see. :daumenhoch:
Just a thought Dan, wouldn't it make things simple/not so confusing if you didn't overlap the voting of one month with the following months entries? Just saying :-* :daumenhoch:
-
Well done Bert for the win :4_17_5:
and everyone else entered. It's great to see so many builds still coming along :coolsmiley:

congratulations to Bert. a brilliant showdown of bikes this month looking forward to vote in october :nuts:

Noted, however doing this loses a week that people could be entering bikes. I thought it would be simple enough to understand as the name of the month concerned is in the title if the thread, but we'll do it your way if you like. :daumenhoch:
-
Nope I understand totally Dan, we all get it but I was thinking more of 'newbies'. :daumenhoch:
-
Agree. There needs to be a short break to get the votes in for current month then a gap to prevent the odd misfire late entry. I'm a newbie. I'm sure the builders will appreciate the extra time to get their rides ready. :-)
Ps can a bike be entered more than once?

No, 1 bike, 1 entry i'm afraid.
I take responsibility for starting the new month while the voting takes place for the previous, so we'll leave it till October's voting has finished, until we start November's.
Also, we have just added a poll to the entry thread this month, as it does take a lot of time to start another thread with just the pics only. If we have 20 bikes, then that's 80 pics we have to upload to photobucket and copy to here. I personally can't do this myself as I have no PC at home, only an iPhone, and you can't start a poll using Tapatalk. I do however use a PC at work, but can't get access to photobucket at work, this is why I asked another Mod to start the voting off this month, I just didn't have the time on the 1st Oct.
Sorry guys. :daumenhoch:
-
Yayyy. My fav CW won!
Well done Bert. That's an awesome bike there, makes a nice change to see the one piece crank, you stuck to your guns, good man.

Sorry Retrodan
What I meant was can a bike come back and be entered in another month?

No Jon, not unless it's been rebuilt and has had a a majority of the parts changed. :daumenhoch:
Congratulations too Bert, at last a bike I have voted for has scooped the win, lovely bike mate, well deserved. :4_17_5:
And well done to all those that entered, without the hard effort and time/money you throw at these amazing bikes, we wouldn't have a BOTM comp, so you're all winners IMO. :4_17_5:
-
Imagine that CW with wheel disks & a ball scratcher, would have got 100% of the votes
-
FIX!!! Redline should have won, I demand a recount....
:knuppel2:
-
Well done Bert. Not my choice but very nice all the same. :daumenhoch:
-
Congrats to all who entered; there were several bikes this month I would love to own (as well as my WHEELS obviously). I like the way the BOTM comp provides inspiration and ideas for future builds and I thoroughly enjoyed my first entry (MATRON). Well done to Bert for the win too - very well deserved :daumenhoch:
-
Well done Bert a worthy winner :4_17_5:
well happy with my 10 votes, cheers guys :daumenhoch:
-
Cheers fellas for all the comments and votes. I'm really chuffed and I couldn't have built it without the support of everyone on RAD, or people i've met through RAD. There's more than a few of you who should recognise parts that i've picked up from you over the last year or so ;) Big thanks to Jaan as well for convincing me that there's more to life than freestyle by letting the frame set go and for dropping my bars at the chromers. :4_17_5:
I'm filling up now.
Bert

Well done Bertrand.

yea, well done, Bert --- and good shout :daumenhoch:
