Piranha cheap rebuild
Retrodan72:
I'm defo gonna replicate the first BMX I had BITD an '85 Piranha Freestyler.
I've only ever seen 1 since getting back into the scene, it's on the bay at the minute, the guy had a BIN price of £475, that's now dropped to £399.
Taipan:
Sweet looking bikes those P's my only gripe is the rear drop outs looks shite! if they'd have spent a few more minutes designing a better,stronger looking rear dropout theyd be far better :daumenhoch:

Resprayed with rattlers and new decals all the other parts either come with it or was kicking around in my bmx hut :Great_Britain:

White powdered frame and forks
White powdered CW type bars
Chrome unbranded layback with unbranded black Aero style seat
White Aero Zytecs
Vredestein whitewall tyres with black snakebelly tread
Black MX 1000 copy calipers with Tech 3's
Black Suntour copy seat clamp
Polished copy Suntour power stem
Nasty moulded black and white chequered grips
