Post by: southern andy on May 01, 2008, 03:14 PM: My very first build ever chaps, Never seen before on RAD by anyone.

A massive thanks to Sawzell for all his polishing, :4_17_5: especially the rims and a big thanks to Dell for the stickies. :4_17_5:

It's taken me 3 months of hard graft, especially sourcing parts. I had nothing in the first place to add so this bike has been blagged from you guys and Ebay. My bank account is now empty. :LolLolLolLol:

This will be raced in the old school series aswell. (injury pending)

Here it is peeps, i'm happy with it.

A 1990 Free Agent Limo.

Post by: Zippy on May 05, 2008, 01:30 PM: Here's my entry for this month.

Firstly I need to give a huge shout out and thanks to a couple of people who without their help this would never have happened.

For the frame and forks I need to say thanks to Spike over on Burnerworld. For being very patient with me even when I was being very fussy and anal I need to say a huge thanks to Del for the decals. We got there in the end dude. :daumenhoch:. cbrgill for the little things that just finish of a buld so well and all the other things I got off him to help me finish this off. And finally to Buttsbikeshop for the chroming. Top notch mate.

The budgie deserves a thread of its own!
Budgie, Striker, BMX for me but remember the boxer's and Grifters well

Did anyones Striker have a coaster brake? mine did but i never saw another with one. (bendix coaster i think)

I Had a budgie in purple then a silver striker with coaster brake and wore my rear tyre out in a week (Dad was well chuft) then on to BMX for me....

Hutchhound loving that trickstar in chrome :smitten:

Hey Andy every month is looking the same standard ::) ( Nearly like Bike of the Year, but monthly ;D )

Some people have really upped their game 8)

It's about showing your bike off , whether it's a £200 build or a £3000 build
They are ALL very cool
If a ride is different
or had a bit of thought
or a different twist , then thats usually what I'd vote for :4_17_5:

Might post a couple next month myself
I won't win any month I entered , even though they aren't cheapos ,
but somebody might like 'em :)
