(1/2) > >>

the £50 budget build moves on a bit more,  crank set sorted although   :-\   ? 

found these up for grabs so thought i'd give em go, french Nervar single speed, during the initial search to try to id the f+f i found a set of forks on a French forum that were the same as the Mystery Machine , turned to be a dead end for now, still working on the French Connection  ;D  so figured they might not be out of place , if i can make em fit that is ?



dont look to bad, autosol and toothbrush to get all the crap of



the logo is screen printed on so it'll be gone after the cleaning , some of the nervar sets have a stamped logo, shame this hasn't   :'(

usual score then Autosol, Peek , five mins on the bufferoo    hp so far   :daumenhoch:




had an incomplete euro bb in the spares box , found a seat but the thread was stripped so of to one of the LBS, funny because soon as you say old BMX they get a blank look on there face and say no we cant help, so after convincing them i'm not realy as nuts as i appear to be, i came away with some freebies  :daumenhoch: result ,   new nylon seat and  some caps , turns out purely by chance the bb is the right size spindle too 122mm another result




nylon  :-\   but free so its on  :daumenhoch: placcy caps dont look to bad

oldtired:
wanted to keep the chinring on the outside as looks better but can't get the chain alighnment so its gone on the inside,  non bmx parts  :tickedoff:   :LolLolLolLol:   

so MX1000 fitted, cranks fitted , i think the seat is going to get the Bendycat treatment and get dyed black  :-\ , you only have to think about dirt and it changes to a grubby colour,  :LolLolLolLol:   had planned on white grips and brake cable too but  :-\ 

 budget so far then   £14 for the crankset marginal on price but i think it looks alright, 42 tooth ring so ok for cruising about on chrome bars now on and black DK grips of another bike, chain ,again out the spares box so all within the build constraints.

Outlay from previous threads £15 + £14  total £ 29 so far   :LolLolLolLol: 




Pedals next got three sets to choose from all out the spares box, VP DX type, VP square shin munchers, :LolLolLolLol:  or the old rat traps that were on the f+f when i got it , leaning towards the DX type?   might give em  the polish treatment  :-\  wdyt?

dordymush:
lookin the part that for next to nowt  :daumenhoch:.

i'd go with the dx type first.

griff:
bargain! think that looks really classy too  :daumenhoch:

Jaymz:
wow, youve done a great job, very interested by the crank set up, been thinking about using a fixie crank as they seem to go for peanuts on the bay, much cheaper than the bmx equivelent. Was the frames BB euro to start with or have you used an adapter
