Well I say part-built.....It's actually a frame & forks in a box and a cupboard full of bits....  ;D

Guys (I presume!), loving the advice - I'm building up to a day at Corby I think. Alert the medical services!

P.S. TBP: Piccies of your Firebird?

not wanting to p*ss on your fireworks too much, but once you do get the DP built you'll soon realise they're only good enough for rolling around on and cruising about town........if you want to get back into riding in parks and stuff then a new school is the only way forward  :daumenhoch:

OS for looking at and cruising
NS for riding like you stole it  :daumenhoch:

If you are planning huge air then mid/ new school is the way but i ride a 1980 team mongoose on wood dirt and concrete and i am not to shy about it and its not broken yet , i believe horses for coarses

rick1970:
hello an welcome,
looks like a nice build in the making,a firebird owner and fan myself,but dont get ahead of urself in parks just yet
if like me u havnt rode for 20+ year, trying to perfect a simple wheelie for more than a few yards was monster task let alone
a rockwalk or 360 so id say back to basics first and enjoy. :daumenhoch:

BMX20:
Here's an update of the progress:


Seat Clamp resprayed and lacquered


Now with the decals on, and 2 further coats of lacquer over the whole thing.


Pretty chuffed at how it's come out, especially as it was all rattle-can paint and lacquer.
