My first BMX Replica build (79' Motomag) Updated alittle ;)

(1/6) > >>

GT world:
Well im unsure if this is the right area to start this topic but thought i would share this very important build...well to me anyway :P

Spring 1980 me dad thought it was time for a new bike as my ageing Grifter was about goosed.
Anyway at the time for some reason we ended up at TUCKERS CYCLES in Guisborough.This was a cracking shop although short lived from what i remember.
Armed with £130 the choice was errmm crap!...i remember another £50 bought a whole different world but a budgets a budget.

I remember me dad asking what have you got for 130 quid and remember tucker pulling this yellow goose from out the back for some reason.

Anyway the rest is history and home came a motomag.
The bike i had was the same as all motomags of the time other than its supplied oddity suntour gold seat clamp and a silver fluted post.It also had a front brake to complement the rear coaster that i cant think for the life of me what it was...it was definatly silver and nothing special so any ideas?

The build as you see it is bang on as it left tuckers bar the tyres which are a little earlier....i like these NOS bronx orbits anyway so bite me :LolLolLolLol:

I have the right cranks,oury grips,snowflake when it turns up but unsure what chain was used and ideas on the front brake setup?

Still need a gooseneck and bar pad set in black,a set of gold anno caps that he gave me at the time and a nice set of unions but struggling to find a not so bright set ^"^

Im also wondering what is involved in converting these mags to coasters?

Anyway heres a start ;)...Hope you like how shes looking.



















Well its been a slow week on the Goose due to waiting on bits from the states  :( ..Still a few bits arrived so thought what the hell.These oury grips were never great but the piont of this build was to mimic what tucker sold me so check these out :daumenhoch:(Update 8/10/11)



Check out the old dustcaps he gave me in with the deal  ;D
