Guys,
Apologies for the dodgy pictures and yes I'm doing my kitchen at the moment....
Anyway, this isn't just my first build its my first BMX full stop. Some of you may remember when I first came on saying that I only had a passed on Grifter when I was young and always begged my mum for a BMX.
I have one now and I just can't stop looking at it! I'm not going to say how much it cost me to do - as I started it when I was a bit wet behind the ears but I still love it and looking forward to bringing it to Birmingham 2nd December.
It may not be the most sought after bike in the world (I think it is the frame only version of the 600a) but I love it....again!

Hatta MX100 Headset
Redline V-Bars NOS/powered not sure
Redline Single Pinch 401's with sealed BB
UKAI Blue Shinesides/Suzue Sealed Hubs
Redline 44T Chainwheel (Linear) - I have a bubble but I think this one suits the bike better

Cheers
Rob

Beautiful job mate. If this is your first build I can't wait to see the others. :daumenhoch:

looking good mate!
and you are right about the pads.
all bmxs look better without pads

nice bike, one of my m8's had a 600a back in the day it was a cracking bike. like yourself i was stuck with a grifter when the rest of the world had bmx's isn't it funny how that sticks in your mind even into your 30's and spurs you on to build and collect bmx's. :daumenhoch: ;D
