Well it's been a long time coming, after Germany 2009 and meeting up with Bob Haro, I just had to source a Gen 1  :smitten:


I managed to bag the frame and forks from Matt Swivel, then came the tricky bit of finding some bars ! I contacted a few peeps to bend their arm but nothing gave ! After negotiating a price north of £500+ off a well known seller, who ended up not wishing to sell them I almost gave in ! BMX Addicts came to my rescue and I ended up with two nos pairs for less than £300 !


I was going to go down the NOS, re chrome route like I usually do, however I built this up with mainly used parts in tip top condition, Bars NOS from Juan, Wheels and Crank used from Pete Quad, Pedals Stodgy, Tyres Bodamus , Brake cables Rom Bloke, Seat Harorider ! So thanks chaps who helped me out on this build !

Like I said a mix of NOS but mainly used bits !



I've been a tad busy recently with various other projects, Kitchen, Allotment, yes Allotment, my new hobbie, however I now have a few builds on the go and it feels good  :angel:

Very jealous Nick, very jealous  :4_17_5:.

Would love one of these myself although I reckon I'd keep it as a frame and fork if I ever found one at a reasonable price; like that's ever going to happen  ;D
