NORTY40:
Got this frame and forks through Matt (matskybeat) when I first got back into this BMX lark over 2 years ago, just never got round to building it .

Survivor chrome with re pop decals . Pro class rims took a bit or restoring but I got there in the end , big thanks to Steve (Animal) for getting shut of some rather big dents  :-[  , your a diamond mate  :4_17_5:  You can see some pics on his rim resto sticky thread.

Always liked these bikes as a kid and it was either one of these , a Diamond Back viper or an MT Racing Silverfox that i had as my choice as my first BMX , I went for the latter as I wanted something that hardly anybody else had near us .

Big thanks to:
Matt (matskybeat) , frame and forks, PC disc
Carl (in2robinsons), brakes and stem
James (voivod)  chainring and free stickers !
John (bobafett) for constantly telling me im doing it all wrong  :D   ...... only joking mate , thanks for your help ;)
