Frame Identification
killahurtz:
Ive added some custom 6mm 316 st/st to the tech 2's to hold them in position, then mirror finished the inserts. Ive put this picture up as the flash really does not do the colours justice as the blue's that are not the nastyish anodised blue are deep navy. Although the anodising is what I knew growing up in the 80's

My house is a shite hole obviously as ive been decorating it for the last 4 months, kept going to the BMX rather than walls, Missis wasn't happy :surprise:

My plan originally was to keep it chrome, but it was in such a bad way when i picked it up it wasnt possible as money is very tight. I was going to polish the whole frame and laquer it but the frame had some really poor areas on it and blue being my fav colour it had to be white and blue. The bike cost me 46 quid from ebay so you can imagine the state it was in. The frame,forks,handle bars,wheels and stem are all what was on the bike. I polished and laquered everything i could then repaired and resprayed it. I know it will be not be liked by the purists but the bike represents everything I liked from the 80's and considering it was on the scrap heap, it now has a new lease of life. The bike currently stands me at 90-100 quid as I have some decals i did not use. Basically scoured ebay looking for bargains which was a great part of the build and very educational as this is my first ever dabble into re-building a bike.

ha ha the bug bite ...welcome on board the mx radbmx :teef: .......still you need pedals and a chain :slayer:
killahurtz:
Thankfully I have the chain and pedals, I'm currently making the adaptors for the crank and mirroring them aswell and 8 spacers that were black plastic on the pedals, they are being upgraded to polished st/st, just have :)to finish turning them. Fortunately I'm an engineer and can do the work myself. Otherwise cost wise this would never happen.
