thanks for the info kungfunky ive managed to get some pre bend levers so all sorted thanks  :daumenhoch:

hi spen i started doing a goose again but wasnt feeling it so binned it and im doing a 79 redline mx11  it was  the first decent bmx's i see in my area as a kid so thats the reason behind the build pretty much sourced all the bits i need although im sure it will get tweaked as i put it together it wont be 100% 1979  parts but pretty much there  :daumenhoch:

Blimey, not a Goose? I just nearly spat my coffee out ;-O

Cool, anything 70's just looks like they were designed and built in sheds, so it's tricky to replicate that look! Have a look at Ashley's Rippers or Carl's Robbos for inspiration if you don't get what I mean ;-)

Shimano and Dia-Compe both did pre-bent levers in the late 70's  :daumenhoch:

Shimano were at least 1978 if not earlier and Dia-Compe 1979, again possibly earlier.....
