My TA.  Last addition it had was a pair of Jive grips back in 94.  I am gonna get it re chromed, cos its all flaked at the headtube and its a bit dull.  but it's still cool.

Difficult one

A bashed up frame that means nothing to me is screaming to be restored  but i ride them and all the scars are my scars so i guess that counts a bit

Rich :)

second that, i build my bikes as riders so i do mix n match to get the best feel of the bike and so its up to the job in hand

Most of my bikes look like the haro....
All the NOS big buck bikes are nice but they are bikes, your ment to ride em, not hang em on the wall...

I bought this and someone has buchered the dropouts so I have had to make spacer washer thingies to mount the rear wheel safely,

I thought about having the dropouts fixed then restoring the bike with nos parts and decals ect ect ect... but then I wouldnt be able to do this with it


which in my eyes would be sacrilige

The bikes ok, a few scratches, but its not show finish anyway, my shoulder and knee are killing this morning but compared to some peoples injuries on here mine ranks a 1/10. I met Zippy dixon yesterday at Braintree, he is just recovering from a broken wrist...get well soon  mate :)

Different horses for courses

Here's one of each, the rebuilt from the start of my revisit to bmx bought as a rusty frame only, laserlite and a survivor GHP that has just had some survivor XC II pedals put on it!



Must admit I'd rather get that Gen 1 refurb'd, just because I love the replica bikes built by Dave et al :smitten:
