All done bar the chain thats in the shed.  Onlything I might change is the chainring to a blue one.  And I have a much nicer blue and white padset coming.



83 Quadangle frame
Landing Gear unstamped forks
NOS Tange 320 headset chrome/blue
SR polished stem
NOS Rickman Reynolds 531 race bars
A'me Tri's
Polished DC MX1000 front and rear with blue Tech 3 levers
Z-rims laced to Suzue hubs
NOS rainbow label Comp III
NOS Hanabishi 3pc crank
Shimano SX pedals
Dia Compe MX hinged seat clamp
NOS Reynolds 531 seat post
Kashi Aero seat

Whats even better is I built this with predominantly the money I got for the much lower spec Streetbeat I sold recently.  Cheers to everyone who helped with parts etc, better pics to come in daylight...

Thanks....

Yeah, decided to keep the white MX in the end, although may at some point swap for a polished/chrome Hutch donut?  I think the bit of white works ok.

I think it looks lovely Dan. :4_17_5: :4_17_5: :4_17_5:

One thing though..................i bet it looks a 1000% better in the flesh. Photos dont do the candy blue quads justice.

I think you did the correct thing Danny in leaving the white clamp on there,  with the white forks and the white on the padset, that must look superb finished.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the finished bike.  :4_17_5: :4_17_5:
