My most extravagant build so far starts here :)

<< < (2/3) > >>

Discostu:
In looking forward to seeing this built up.  :daumenhoch:

Thanks for the comments so far. I am ashamed to say I do not know what super pros are :idiot2: I will look them up. I have just put together a few more parts and have never fitted a gyro or three piece crank either :-\ But will attempt to do it on this build. Some of the parts I have used have been sitting around the house for ages, so if I like how they will look, I might switch them for better parts later on.


Just added, Bars ect :daumenhoch:


Its tricky finding light blue parts as most of the blue stuff I  see is anno'd and darker. I have some nice blue nippons, but they are on another build, so might be looking for another set. It seither that or get some red mx1000's I have the red tuffs, white seat, white tyres, red post so will stick those on it later to see what it looks like and in the meanitime I will check out those super pro's Thanks for looking and all the best, Jonathan :daumenhoch:

Morning Jonathan,

Looks like a lovely framset! I wish i was building one.  Superpros are 48 spoke wheels made by peregrine.  They look great on Haro's...NitroHopper has a set currently for sale (amongst other things) as he's splitting up a Sport. If it were mine, i'd be putting Super Pro's on it 8)

3 piece cranks are very straightforward, and setting up a Gyro is simple too.  I get the impression that you're going with parts you have to hand, rather than 'correct' parts. If you want to be more 'correct' then this bike needs Haro Kneesaver bars, a fusion stem, Fusion 3 piece cranks. :daumenhoch:

Out of interest, how much was shipping from the US for the F&F?

Cheers fella :daumenhoch: I wish I had the funds to do it factory spec, but as I know only a little about these framesets, Ill probably try out all the parts at hand. I was thinking red tuffs, but am thinking white tuffs with blue comp tyres, might look sweet. All my builds have tuffs on, so if the red and white tuffs dont work out, I might go for some spokes. It normaly costs $80 for a frame and forks sent USPS priority mail international. Its better if they ship with this method as it links up with parcelforce, when the package reaches the UK. Its also one of the cheaper services. He put the value at $350 which meant I had to pay £70 customs as its done on a percentage of the value and postage costs, there are ways to avoid it but involves the seller marking the item as either gift, a low value under £30 or frame for repair, but most US sellers dont like doing it :daumenhoch: I will post up more pics soon and thanks for the advice, Cheers, Jonathan :)
