very nice mate, the result is well worth the time and effort, a nice frameset with some equally lovely parts, and glad i couldve heped out in the final stages

You're very modest about it Paul, just because it isn't a big name brand.

Personally I really ,really like it ,a great choice of select parts

You got it, just right

Cool pics too

Thanks for the kind words lads. It's all very humbling.
In answer to a few questions, I don't really have much of a garden but the location is at the bottom of my street in Hove.
Originally I'm a bit of a country boy (about as far away from a coast as you could get) but now I miss the seafront whenever I go back home

Plus it's about as close to France as I could get this afternoon

I spent most of the afternoon burning up and down the front on it with a stupid big grin on my face and it's a really smooth ride.
I'll stick a layback on it a change the seat for daily use as I think it'll be coming to work with me. It's Ok I've asked the misses

I hunted for ages for a black Laprade, I was originally going to use in on my Rhino III but had a change of plan.
Somehow I've now managed to get hold of a Red, Blue & Gold as well. I think that might be a complete set

Sorry but none are for sale at this point

Thanks again for the comments. I'm really, really pleased with it (even though the misses didn't like the red post).
Plus now I can get back to the Rhino build

As a fellow pug/motobecane owning country boy I can safely say that is a lovely build Paul....cant believe you prefer that view over Wantage/Grove?

Lively build Paul

Thanks fellas. man, it feels good to be back on a BMX again.
I must have covered about 6 miles today

I'm sitting on some nice soft cushions now though

Bit of a grey day and a bit of rain to add to the fun.
