Being anally retentive about parts

It's all too anal . Bitd you didnt even care what year it was as long as it looked good and made you faster ... If you raced like I did !

 If it looks right and within a few years or so then go with it ...  :daumenhoch:

Who's bikes on here have the correct year spokes , nipples , tubes and dust caps .. ??? 
 Unless its a complete survivor from bitd , not very many .. 

 Anyone wanna swap a red DC rear dated 7.6.83  for 7.5.83  ;D

As should always be said Rich,,do what suits you mate  :daumenhoch: .

I took this Quadangle to MK07 loaded with NOS Z rims NOS hubs NOS brakes NOS seat etc

and YES double pinch  cranks :and rainbow labels crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2:  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

I obviously didn't know what it took to enter a bike for a show and shine  ::)







When or if you do become "era correct"bothered ,,building bikes become more involving and possibly more interesting from a collectors point of view  :angel:

It's all down to are you more of a keen collector or just like old BMX  :smitten:

As always this hobby takes allsorts and it's all the better for having a mix of opinions

Myself I wouldn't be seen dead with  parts on my bike that weren't made in the same WEEK  :yahoo_silent:   ;) ;) :LolLolLolLol:

I've also managed to source a vat of genuine 80's air for inflating  the tyres  :D

Shove your  repop headset up your arrr  :LolLolLolLol:  



WARNING for those reading with a serious low sense of humour ,,,the above opinion is total bollox

There's no way I would look for 1983 dust caps Chris!!!  ;D Well............not yet anyway!!!!!  ;)

You're right though- it is interesting & to some degree educational to source era correct parts.

But at the same time bloody frustrating & expensive!!  >:(
