I've been tinkering with this idea and decided to have a go , we all know old school brakes are great to look at but pants if you want them to work , I started with a 1984 Hutch Trick Star got it stripped back to bare metal then got a front hub from a road bike , rear came from a rock/trail bike , getting the lugs/mounts just right took a bit a doing but i'm more than happy with the look now , i brazed the lugs and cable guides on so if i wanted to remove them at a later date i could do so with ease . The discs are 160mm and work mega , i'll be using this as my rider now instead of the Badlander so it's been built with a purpose flatland , ramps

i'll let the pics do the talking , i'll put a spec up shortly

Cable guides under top tube

Hope you like guys , i'll be on this at Chester

Thats the bollocks that Darren

Lovely bit of brazing and loving the pools and blue grip tape.
All that extra brake setup suits the trickstar to a tee for me

Why?...

The bike itself looks really nice, white/blue is a great colour combo

but I've never been a fan of discs on a BMX, Theres a few at our local track and yes they work well but sometimes too well.

This is odd, its so wrong, but somehow looks so right, I am confused. Great job

Now go do some awesome endos

200 years ago they used to burn people for lesser crimes than this (they probably still do up north..)

Only joking.. That is a build with balls!! Made me smile..

Good work..
