Let me know what bits you rode with as i have a large collection . My brother ( Spen 69 on here )and i have helped a few people to build replica's of bikes they had back in the day , we even managed to reunite Peter J with his actual Ammaco team sprint F+F ( his first bmx ) which gained us a very good friend . Its a small world and radbmx is considered to be the core of UK old school bmx , you will find you make many a good friend and will have an exspensive but great time on the way . No matter what come to MK11 next year and find the fix it tent on the helipad , open 24 hours for bikes burgers and booze . :daumenhoch: :)

I certainly would ! Nickel frame, tange II forks, Redline Flights, shimano dx (got some of these) Tange seat post, shogun 2 seat, all the usual really, it was built out of all the bits i had knocking about and trial and error to find which bits worked for me, rather than those bits that were fashionable !

Mmm.. Shotgun seat & Flights may be a bit tricky and you'll have to bend over and reach for the soap when it comes to paying for them unfortunately ;-(
As Simon said, get down to MK next year and call in to the big green gazeeeeebo by the helipad for help finishing your builds or fixing what you've broken riding on the track or ramps, but be prepared to drink till dawn and have a minging hangover if you find yourself in the tent after 3pm though...
Oh, and make sure you build your bikes to ride them and not look at them as old 'Gooses are tough!

Wouldn't have a bike i couldnt ride, and quite happily drink till dawn ! To be honest i'm not too fussed about the 'detail' most important is the frame for me, i'll build it with what i consider is right (at the time) then over time collect bits and upgrade restore etc
