Right then.........

It's done the rounds this frame - it was originally Dan diesel's, think Ratty had it at some point ? Can't remember who had it after that but I remember being interested in trying to buy it as a F&F about 2 years ago but that never happened, fast forward to January this year and it popped up on ebay - I wasn't in a position to buy it at the time and Carl (In2bmx) fancied a pub cruiser whilst he waited for a Robbo to pop up so he bought it with the plan of selling it to me once a robbo turned up.

A couple of months later it was mine and it was time to put my stamp on it  ;)

Kept the F&F, bars n wheels and changed pretty much everything else.

I think I might re-chrome it next year but for now here's how she stands (finally got a set of mongoose winner's choice skin walls ! Would love some 20" ones for some of my builds but that's not gonna happen any time soon ! )
