I'll have to tighten that front brake block up before I can ride it Callum

Nice looking bike mate. Gotta love a resto from the dead

Good spot sir !

[Funkyworm]

Liking that, looks great with the blue tyres and white tuffs 

Cheers Marty, was starting to think you didn't like my bulds !

lol, nope your builds have been great and I've liked them both, we just disagreed on the set-up of one but it's all good on my part 

My wife's nan used to say "life would be boring if we all came 6 to a box"

Nice one,Love it.Pedals look fantastic.The tuffs and tyres look ace too.If you are not worried too much about era correctness I would swap the calipers for 880's front and rear,then you can run a potts mod and have your levers the right way round

Funny you should say that, the frame & forks are Dec 1983 so I wanted to keep it looking circa 84-85 (with a twist) I've actually got some 880 in blue that i got from from Spen but i think this is the wrong bike for a pot's mod to be honest.

 Im just waiting for a couple of parts to arrive then & I'm sending off some mx 1000's for green anno !

Ah cool.the MX 1000's will be more in keeping with the bike and should look fantastic in green.i recently swapped from a rear 901 to an 880 for the same cable routing reasons.I think every freestyler should have a potts mod!!It represents the ingenuity and innovation which was going on at the time,especially in freestyle-As well as making the bike function much better for what it was intended for.Look forward to seeing this with the brakes

this looks bloody awesome mate, and the mx1000's will finish it off a treat
how much were the tyres all in and have they got other colours ?

I think for the 2 sets posted it was around £70-£90 inc taxes might actually have been a bit more  .

They also had red but had sold out of white, I was really interested to get some in green I know that Duro make them & they are available in Australia as well. It just seems that theres a demand out there & in the USA so the distributors can order the minimum quantities in order to get the colours made.
