I love the look of that Kastan and think it will turn into a fine bike - pity, those kastan bars I picked up at MK12 would have looked a treat on it if I hadn't swapped them already for some NS ones

I don't want to go into that here mate, was just giving another reason why I have decided not build Old school anymore and will definately check every single item that falls through my letter box in future, straight away.

As for the bars G, I know what you're saying and immediately tried to track down some Kastan brs but, that's Old school. Everybody wants matching bars on their high end bikes when building an Old school, I done the same but, the Kastan is just about building a bike for how I want it  ;)  You will like my bar choice anyway mate  :daumenhoch:

Jon The Bassist:
The sport of BMX (not the polishing wars/profiteering blx) is one of the main things that makes me feel like I'm really alive, as opposed to just exisiting/earning etc etc.

I'd encourage anyone who is physically able to stay involved in BMX in whatever form, riding, helping kids, whatever.

My feelings entirely mate. I used to enjoy just chucking bikes together but the longer you are building, the more finesse things have to be and that starts with an item not 'being up to scratch', so you have buy better, then that one is not, so even better etc etc. It just drags on until the bike you have is a minter or smothered in NOS, then you don't want to ride it for fear of marking those items and de-valuing them  :crazy2:  Too much damned hassle. I like riding my survivor builds and was getting sucked into that 'mintiness' sit on a carpet bike build factor.

At least with this Kastan, I can build how I want for as much as I want and ride it to my hearts content  :)

Here you go Terry a visual answer to your initial question  :)

Dicking about with mates (in abersoch) wondering if i could pull an endo in the loop of that anchor  :LolLolLolLol:
