Nice 1st build that mate, well done. :4_17_5:

Flip your seat clamp upside down though, nobody will spot it's a repop then. ;)

Not that there's anything wrong with repop parts :yahoo_silent:

Thanks for the comments - and the advice too Dan.

Went for a ride this afternoon, first time I had been on a BMX for years and felt so good.

Reckon my SE Draft Lite will be up for sale soon.  ;)

Still tweaking bits and pieces to get a comfortable ride - seat movement is in the offing for sure.

The smiley dust caps are actually from Halfords - I couldn't resist them.

Thanks again for all the positive comments. In the process of being skinted out buying a flat so will be the only build for a while.

Sweet build, fella. :smitten:

I did a factory spec black nova last year, and it took some doing.

You've done a smasher, there.  :daumenhoch:
