Nice 1st build that mate, well done.
Flip your seat clamp upside down though, nobody will spot it's a repop then.
Not that there's anything wrong with repop parts

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.
I did a factory spec black nova last year, and it took some doing.
You've done a smasher, there.
