Can't work out if you do this as a hobby or a job mate you seem to have tons on the go all the time :coolsmiley:
Yeh where do you keep turning these things up from?? (as if you're gonna spill ;) )
-
well to be truthfull i am restoring this for a man that used to race it bitd . he contacted me from ebay and ask me how much to rebuild it
. i said i just dont know so i am just going to plod on with it and see what happens and how many man hours i put into and how much i spend on the
parts that are missing :)

SHALL I DO A STEP BY STEP ACCOUNT LIKE THE ERIC RUPE """"""""" WHAT YOU GUYS THINK """""""" ?????????????

Yes, please. I'm probably never gonna do a HLT but I like to see the techniques used, suppliers for repro bits or restoration, and all the little hints and tips you get in a restoration thread. I got most of my parts for my Laserlite following other peoples builds (like the Suntour decals from Kendo, Sawzall doing frame repairs, Del, Firebird etc etc).
Was very helpful for a newbie doing his first build!

Hi everyone!
This is actually my bike that I am getting Neil to kindly restore for me because he seems to be the master and a true Jedi Knight of the BMX world. My Grand dad bought it for me when I was 10 from a very small shop in Reading. He bought it for me when I decided I wanted to race. I had a Raleigh Ultra Burner at the time and wanted something better even though too big for me at the time I was just spoilt. I still have the Ultra Burner and also a mini Curtis that he bought my brother (just frame and forks - never used). I raced for around 3 years throughout the South when it was NBMXA and I was ranked 23 in the South. Still have all of my 30 plus trophies and was team captain one year for Henley. I still have my old helmet and full diamondback race suit.
I am very please Neil came to the rescue and like you guys can't wait to see the stages of restoration.
Cheers for now
Steve G

why always the bmx police. ??? people always get shirty when they are corrected on misinformation
if your wrong your wrong. Get over it.
example :LolLolLolLol:
you say to me, this tune is 'fook the police' by eazy e. i say no it's not, it's by NWA. not the tune police putting you to rights, just correct information. Nothing wrong with knowing your shit.
or
oi mate, your jumper is on inside out;
what are you the clothes police. >:(
eh whatever :-*
i think the medical term is asperger's for this inability to accept conflicting information.
getting angry when somebody corrects your fact's is just ignorant, unless they are dead cóckey about it. >:D
if nez want's to build bikes to his spec then leave him to it. If you want to take the piss, do it behind his back like you would in real life, it makes the site far more pleasant for everybody if there are less silly cat fights.

Hi Neil
It's Steveo. Many thanks again for the top build, I have already had my mates round admiring her. You certainly have the skill and knowledge and I highly recommend you to anyway who wants their bike professionally restored. Neil as I said you should make it your full time job. Already got it hung in my garage and can't stop looking at it. I'm going to drag out all of my tropies and post some pics along with the bike. I am also going to get the BMX weekly framed...am lovin it cheers mate!!!
If you do find a laserlite let me know?
Will be in touch mate
Best Regards
Steveo
