well the biggest challenge has been remebering which parts i had on it!

i didnt know what the frame was, until i described it and one of the lads on here put me right about it.

i didnt know what decals i had on it, until i spotted them on another bike in the museum. frosty has sorted me out with those now.

there are still bits that i dont remember, but the funny thing is, as i build it, clean it etc, my brain jumps back 25 years, and remembers another bit , thanks brain!

ive got some big problems with chrome though. it seems at some point someone has welded lugs to the rear, then removed them....well thats the only way i can explain the heat marks on the seat stays.

ill take some photo's later.

Good job so far Phil  :coolsmiley:

Divot gave me the basis for a replica of my first bmx bike at MK and you have inspired me to make a start on it
Cheers

 :) DINGO  :)

Just a cheap bottom of the range Giant with chrome steel wheels ect but my brother bought it me using the christmas club method and he was 16 and in his first year at work at the time so looking back he realised how much a "real" BMX  meant to me and wnet out of his way to get it for me so I wanna build this one exactly the same and give it to my nephew

 :) DINGO :)
