cheers,mat let me know mate,need to be dia compe stamped 85

Ooh looking very nice that.

I would probably be tempted to ditch the tuffs an fit some nice chrome rims. Much better looking and your brakes will work a whole lot better.

Nice build!!

If you already have a front 85 DC cable, you can still use this for a pot mod (where you normally need a rear for the extra length). Just install the front DC cable then use any old outer to extend the length. The two cables outers just sit together and the join will be inside the headtube. Impossible to tell it is 2 cables whilst built and the front brake works 100%..

like that idea paul,i have a front dated 85 cable but only a couple of weeks ago binned a black no-named cable,if only i knew of this trick

@brummie,still have the orange one mate,would never re-paint that 1,it's spot on,also got a NOS green in a box still to build

That looks very nice in black

Nice is that

when i did my black+pink beat i thought about doing it all black but it wasnt lively enough for me as a freestyler.

If Batman hada bmx this would be it
