happy days indeed, did yours always make that lovely clunk-click-clunk sound as you pedalled too?

Mine did. Was never sure why though.

I cant remember that , it was probably the crank hanging out of it !! Remember leaving a great big skid up the street from the pedalback brake though ..

hey i think its kinda cool :2funny: ain't seen one for donkeys n had forgot all about em...my mate got one for a birthday, made my spiderman bike look like s**t .....hated that kid  :LolLolLolLol:

Thanks for all comments!I still have the chainguard/mudguards,but I took mine off bitd,before my dad could afford a bmx in an attempt to make it more like a bmx so i wanted to leave em off this time round.The original wheels were well fooked,i think it looks way better on tuffs!I know it's a bit of a 'frankenstrika' but it's also unique and different,and pushes boundaries a little,rather than a straightforward resto.Where's Kappy?He'd understand! :daumenhoch:
