Dyno Compe - Hardest Build I've Done Up To Now...
Retrodan72:
...as I'm building it for someone else.
It belongs to one of my best mates, Dave - the guy who builds the 1/18 scale Ford's. This and the parts he is buying are all bought with profits from the model making.
He asked me to build a replica of the baby blue one I built 2 years ago, but Dave is a very impatient guy and didn't want to wait (even though I advised him to) for a frame set the same as mine.
He spotted this one on the bay and fell in love with the colour, I tried to steer him away but he insisted, bid and won.
The hardest part building this is getting the image in my head of what it should look like, and trying to keep Dave happy with what he wants, it's his bike and cash after all.
Anyone else had this kinda headache.?

It is a nice colour Patric. The seller described it as Fiola/GT yellow, but I think it's standard Ford signal yellow.
Dave has decided on white parts, which will look good. As he says, it's to go on the wall in his man cave, and will never be ridden.
I fitted the headset tonight, it was the one the seller threw in with the bike, it's been painted, not brilliantly, but Dave wants a white one so is happy with it, although I had to add 2 black spacers, which look a bit naff.

What brake you putting on the front? I have a white 880?
Might have a pair of white Arayas if I can force myself to sell them! :idiot2:

I've had both my brother and my mate take up the old BMX recently, and although I've not built there bikes, the hours of advice, knowledge and history I've given them has been exhausting, at one point, my phone, Facebook, messenger would be pinging almost constantly with links to what was normally utter crap on eBay, I lost it at one point, and actually only came on rad for three days straight, my phone was off I disconnected the house phone and logged out of everything, both of them even phoned my missus and my brother also phoned two of my kids ffs trying to get hold of me, in the end strong words had to had with them both about how to use google and not rely on me as much to their disbelief I have a life! Never again, let them make the noob mistakes, just like I did
