I've been meaning to do this for a week or so now, heres a few pics of my first NOS build, every other build i've done has had at least one or two survivor parts but this ones a minter.

Im gonna stick it in the museum when i can get some decent pics outside..

I've got a few thank you's to the people who helped with this build in one way or another:

SuperbikeDan for the awesome paintwork....
Del for the custom seat decals....i did mean to pm you when they turned up

Electro808 for sorting out the Tuf Neck i bodged....
Phil100uk for the decal set....

And to my pregnant missus for putting up with the bmx bits everywhere

& anybody else i've forgotten....thank you

Cheers for the comments guys

Its turned out much better than i hoped, i would have killed to have had this bike bitd..

As for the orange blocks on those white rims, i won't be running them if it ever gets ridden...

The white izumu zebra chain will have to stay elusive for now, i've got a silver izumu for the meantime..

& finally the next build is gonna be a very slow one.. what with sprog on the way & all that

Doesn't stop me from window shopping though eh

Nice work, Chris

Where did you get the chrome hardware for you Tuf neck? I usually keep them the standard black but I think they look cool in chrome

Your Streetbeat reminds of a lovely GT I put together in the Autumn. I was running out space for all things old school and had to sell something

As this bike was my most recent build and I wasn't that attached to it, I stuck it on the Bay. I kinda' wish I'd kept it and got rid of something else

I've bought even more old school stuff to clutter up the place since
