LOL @Bru
It has a personal meaning behind the colour scheme dude. For the record Fruits doesnt apply :2funny:
Tarrr very much though i like bright
coolio
-
it's diferent that's for sure :daumenhoch:
would like to see it with the Z mags as well though.....nice and black :daumenhoch:
-
Pickle, i cant see that happening dude. The ACS zmags will no doubt be going on my DP or GT.
Different is good in my eyes, im not a stock kind of guy im a custom dude 8) (mostly)
tarr very much
-
Looks great, but just one comment .. you dont usually fit wheel nuts along with the pegs !
-
^^Really :-[ i did wonder.
This is only a mok-up and they are only slightly on :daumenhoch:
Seriously strugglin to get the BB cups in though. Iv taken most of the paint off inside the BB.
-
i like the black and pink combo :)
always remeber a black and pink pk ripper on ebay years ago,could have had the whole bike for £300 :idiot2:
nice scheme 8)
-
Thanks Thebigdog, i have a Tioga pink cd chainring and black Tioga spider. And pink Tioga kkt plastic pedals.
So should look good when i get over this small annoying hurdle >:(
-
This is getting closer to the finish line. I had the BB cups pressed in today so i managed to fit this:
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/o423/hactoff/pinkmok010.jpg)
Just need a black chain, fit my grips/blocks. Take it apart again and give it a fully good clean down for the application of my custom decals for Del :daumenhoch: :smitten:

Everybody loves a bit ov pink ;)
-
Thanks to Del for being the great custom decal maker and perfect guy to deal with. I will be finishing this today, this is a snippet of what iv done so far.

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/o423/hactoff/Decalsadded008.jpg)
Started off small and now just the 2 big ones to do now :-\
-
I think thats the first Black Streetbeat I'v ever seen ???
I quite like it :)
The BB cups will go in, lube them up, they are meant to be tight, just put them in a vice, or get a block of wood & hammer :daumenhoch:
-
Thanks WIKTTA^^ :) Cups were pressed in at my lbs. Id not seen an all black Streetbeat either but im sure there is some out there.
Finished the decals and had a struggle with the top bar 1 which i left till last, slightly wonky and i will replace it later on.

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/o423/hactoff/finisheddecalsandpumpkin029.jpg)
Im pleased how its turned out tbf. Now i can put the grips/chain and cables on.
Thanks Del again for the perfect decals :daumenhoch: :smitten: love them!!!!
-
Thats awesome. fookin crazy, but awesome nonetheless.
-
I'm liking that, nice :daumenhoch:
-
Knew i,d seen a black one some where before. This was from back in 2006, some canny eye candy on this thread over at vintage.

-
Thanks Oberonspacefruit and Elliot (Ron Burgundy) :daumenhoch:
It was my firsy :daumenhocht ever attempt at doing decals and i done them dry >:( not easy but im sure ill get used to it.
Suts, Thanks for the picture of some other black 1's. That link has some fancy Streetbeat for sure.
-
:4_17_5:
Good thread and Great Job on the Streebeat .. :daumenhoch:
Black & Pink goes together very well ( i should know , spending the holiday weekend painting daughter`s bedroom in similar scheme), you`ve got it just about right i reckon!!
Wasn`t sure about Streetbeats at first, but, with yours and the other ones i`ve seen on here , they`re growing on me :)
Top Work !
Dave
-
top job mate :daumenhoch:
-
nice :4_17_5: great thread , nice colour , del done a great job again, june botm entry i think,chrome chain?
-
Looks cool :daumenhoch: A pink stem would look pretty cool on there - it would match the seat clamp and break up the black bars, black stem and frame combo.
Del's decals look great :daumenhoch:
-
WOW im stunned by the kind words thats been said about this bike :shocked:
Rollin, Thankyou mate
Oldtired, i was thinking Black chain really?? as for botm im honoured just for someone to like my hard work really :)
Ozone, i watched about 4 pink headset come and go for cash i couldnt afford so maybe a painted pink stem is a good idea ;) also cheers for the good feedback dude :daumenhoch:
Dave, your daughter has great taste in colour schemes ;D (unless she is too young to choose then you have great taste)
The story behind my chioce in colours will be revieled when iv fitted the final few bits. Oh and swapped the calipers round as iv been informed they are front to back :-\ ::)
-
Ok been through a couple of little additions to the bike, i gave up on looking for a black chain and bought a pink one just for now so its ready for MK.
Also added the bar decals and swapped the cable guides top to bottom so the cable runs downwards now.

Just needs 1 litttle decal from Del and cables cut/crimped. :daumenhoch:
Look forward to meeting a few more faces at the show ;)
-
Lovin' it....cheeky colour combo :daumenhoch:
Keep Rockin Fella ;)
-
Seriously loving that. Best use of pink on a BMX ive seen.
Agree that a pink stem would complete it and break up the black at the front end.
Lovely job though, well done mate. :daumenhoch:

Set of pink repop pads would look great, and solve the whole black stem / pink stem debate?
-
I'd really like to get a MKIII with the AD mounts on the rear, chrome and blue ones.

-
Not my cup of tea but i think the colours look awesome!!
Proper retro. :4_17_5:

i quite like this but i think the stem needs to got to SBD to get powdered pink also :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
-
Thanks harorider, i bought the black one so its all black upfront. I will be buying a pink custom skyway padset which will brighten up the whole bike more :daumenhoch:
I am unemployed and this bike+ my other build has not been easy to do on my tight budget. The reason behind the build brightens me up enough :) ;)
Cant even afford dust caps to finish it off fully :-[
-
Amazing Street Beat 8)
Awesome color scheme and superb decals from Del.
Congrats :daumenhoch:

Jaypeg- Thanks very much mate, it was seeing your pics of your beat that reminded me i had to update this thread :daumenhoch:
Dordy- Nice one dude ;) i think its a better balance and i never was happy with those faded pink skyways that coloured tuffs sent me ::)
Tom- Now i need to pick a wall while the mrs is away :P ;D safe geeza :daumenhoch: black padset with pink or pink with black? Im thinking black with pink lettering so its a bit more mean, more than pink fanny padset :LolLolLolLol:
Thaks all.
-
Wow Deano - this is an old thread ! :shocked: I remember it well :LolLolLolLol:
Good to see you are still tinkering with it - got to say I prefer it with the new changes - nice one :daumenhoch:
