Cheers guys! Yesterday I finally got the Tuffs on there properly and set the back wheel in place, chain and all. I took the chain guard off so it could be anodized, hopefuly this week sometime. All the missing stickers are drawn up and ready to be printed. It's sheer laziness that this thing hasn't been finished yet!

Sorry for neglecting you guys!

Here's what I've been doing whilst begging and praying for an original gold chain-ring guard. I've been collecting little bits and pieces of BMX BANDITS movie paraphernalia. So far I've got the picture book, Japanese theatre playbook and a score of original lobby cards from the film's original 1983 cinema release. As well as my orignal US release 1 sheet movie poster. I've got an original VHS tape with box cover in the post and am looking at buying a couple more original release movie posters from other countries. I've also got my fingers crossed for an original Centurion 150 helmet. I'll have to get back to you guys about that one. Also I've got a great guy doing some SuperMax decals so I can finish off the bike. But that's as much as I can do until I get the guard. I've got 200 big ones here for whoever finds me a NOS gold chain-ring guard!

Like this but only gold!

Goodies!

Well, I recieved my original 1983 VHS tape in the post the ohter day. Not really directly related to the build per say, but hey. I say it is, so enjoy! I also managed to get an original chain-ring guard. Not NOS but good enough to work with. I'll post it off to the anodizer tomorrow. Still waiting on some stickers and that's it!

Awesome feat. Hoping someday you manage to get the pic of the bike together with Nicole on it

Great idea...........she does like to get naked nowadays

fischflo · « **Reply #85 on:** May 06, 2013, 06:56 PM »

She should become member of Radbmx, really - she is a person of significance to bmx history after all. We'll discuss till she forgets herself and starts contributing to babe of the day .... oooohoo

I won't be holding my breath!

Back on track! Something has happened to the bike. I'm incredulous! After much procrastination, a lot of time spent searching the web and a bit of luck; she’s now got a shiny new chain-ring guard. Benny1 (ozBMX) did an amazing job with the anodizing. The colour match to a NOS original guard it is near enough to call perfect. He has really done a bang up job this time. Thanks Ben!

Awesome build bro and great attention to detail

You should get some outside shots and put this in bike of the month on here.

I think Clint would love one of these double butted frames

Love this project although I've gone grey since it started...

Well done for sticking with it

AusBMX · « **Reply #94 on:** June 02, 2013, 01:05 PM »

Thanks guys!

It sure has taken its time hasn't it. But if you're going to do it you may as well do it right and that takes time.

Cool build all you need to top it off http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1980s-Big-Hair-Perm-Fancy-Dress-Wig-Inc-FREE-Wig-Cap-/400478397334?pt=UK_Women_s_fancy_Dress&hash=item5d3e5f6396

I certainly would, Seen a few on oz ebay but i think they are all afraid of the post office over there

Cracking build Ben

really nice to see the effort put in on what others may class as not entirely top end

AusBMX · « **Reply #98 on:** June 30, 2013, 09:32 AM »

Cheers guys!

I had a little bit of trouble posting lately and I had to re-register with the forum. Yeah, that would be something wouldn't it.

Well I finally procured the proverbial icing for the delicous metaphorical cake that is this radical bike. It's not Nicole but a NOS Centurion helmet, just like Nic's one. Can't wait to get this in hand so I can try it at the pin striping on the back.

Trent.
