I usually mut it and listen to my record collection while I watch it, stopping to pause it occasionally for cool cars or related bike stuff. I find it much more enjoyable that way. Does anyone else want to ring gooses neck, he sounds like a flaming  gallah!

I got most of the build done today before the weather turned sour. Pretty happy with how its turned out thus far, even with a few minor set backs during the build. I managed to get the poxy seat clamp to fit quite nicely in the end and then had to finese the KSM guts onto the Nitto post but that was about it for problems. I've still got to set up the rear brake, which can't be done to the chain and wheel are set. I also need to get some axle nuts for the tuffs and track down some yellow tuff pads. Then the fun part, doing the fork decals and re-anodizing the chain guard.

 

I'll do a proper photoshoot when she's all together. Till then that's all you get. Sorry.

AusBMX:
Hey guys,
The bike is looking great and is well on the way to completion. I've also just bought a set of original Tuffs to swap out futher down the track. I'm also on the look out for a matching helmet that Nicole wore in the flick, I have discovered that the original is a CENTURION 150 helmet. I haven't had any luck this side of the pond so far, knowing that this is a UK Manufacturer maybe someone here might be able to point me in the right direction better than in Aus. I'm after a yellow helmet with the matching silver strips in either NOS or Mint condition, just like in the pictures. It looks like they rubbed off the Centurion logo on the screen used helmet, for copyright reasons and such. I'd really love to have a matching helmet to hang off the bike once it's finished. So please let me know if you know of one hanging up in a closet or sitting idle in a collection somewhere. I've already drawn up the custom pinstriping in anticipation. Thanks!
