Just tell/ask the seller to clean it for you ... tell him your problem, peeps are often helpful..  :)

i think this is the sort of chainring/sprocket you'd be looking for:
Tuf Neck Power Gear   -rather than a Redline one, i believe, judging from the track pics-
...they have like 43T (teeth), or 44 or 42, 45 .....   

an example on ebay today  -89 bucks, dont know how steep that is-:

test OUR sale section by using our search function ... if you think its interesting for your quest, you might want to consider getting a 'site support tag' for a fair lil fee, ... again, just an idea.

sorry, can't find a scan of issue youre lookin for:
i hoped to find it here; but its just the cover so far of the nov84 issue ... http://www.23mag.com/mags/bab/bab.htm

PK.RIPPER:
Can anybody find any better pictures of this race bike, to build a replica to be honest wouldn't be easy sorry to say.

fischflo:
right...   -Deffo sounds like a 'project' now; Terry's absolutely right-
Funmonster said. "...If i remeber right he told me it was a GT rear end he had cobbled onto a grifter front triangle.."

... that would be a GT Pro (?) then or smth like that ..... probably prohibitively expensive for you?: 
-you'll prolly pay 200 $ for such a (donor) frame, in order to tear its stays off... :crazy2:

-THen you need a specialist who could do the welding.  :smiley6600: (although this could be part of the shared project already, of course)

-Also pictures.....Man-dy - your dad must have a pic of his old bike he won his title on surely .....?  :coolsmiley:
With that we could at least help you id the parts  :laugh:

Mandy, have you tried any of the Oz bmx sites like Ozbmx?  Plenty of us poms on there and you never know one may have brought one over when they moved.  Where in Oz are you?

Mandiebmxmorgan:
I have a few pics of the bike. He actually got the bike stock in 1979 for Xmas. I'm happy to keep it stock and not make any changes. He has owned two between 1979 -late 80's. he left the bike frame back in England but its been stolen since being here. (Very gutted he didn't bring it) I'm unsure as to time frame of having someone back in the UK. I've been on bike oz site recommended to me but nothing on there so far. Ill need a bike delivered to Blackpool or within and hour or so dive out of Blackpool. (Don't want to push my luck with my friend doing me a favour) any help from you guys is greatly appreciated. I'm scouting eBay everyday. Some people want 40pounds delivery to Blackpool so I'd rather save on the $$$ there and put it towards a pait job etc.
