Dunno yet mate - I wasn't holding my breath with it ever actually arriving but now it's here I'll give it some thought. Blue Pro Neck parts seem a must though!!

So whats the deal with the decals? If the paint is original and the frame has come from the original team rider, any idea as to why he put those decals on?

Unsure at the minute; he just said they were a poor repro set (I've never seen a dark blue set like these before) plus they aren't even on straight :-/
He has several other of his original NP race frames on BMXMuseum and the builds aren't exactly what I would call 'to my tastes' either so perhaps he started work on this one then decided to sell. From the info he has given me the end of the NP race team was not a happy or friendly occasion.

Strange one, but you still have a beautiful frame set there mate, well worth the wait :)
Mikku:
All good things come to those who wait! Or at least that's what I keep telling myself with my Laserlite! Great-looking frameset - looking forward to the build!
Picklez:

You have an absolute beaut' there, imho one of the nicest frame sets I've seen for quite some time.
