Finally got  a Roger Decoster today,loved these ever since seeing Stidds blue one.
Bought it as an almost complete,I was thinking of a Stidds style build but as the nickel is so nice I am keeping as is.
It has a few battle scars but I am just going to chuck some parts on and make a ratty rider out of it,and upgrade parts as I go til I have it how I want it.
Parts list

Forks are Motomag I think? I am not an expert,someone will correct me!!

Got it off a guy on eBay who doesn't use the forums and it was fairly local so I had to have it.
Comments good or bad welcome.....

Cool stuff, what year is it ? There's a very good chance I'll be buying a rare 76 Decoster in the near future.  I'm sure you'll need Decoster forks which are very similar to team Goose forks.

Jaan:
Beautiful bikes, I have a 78 DeCoster for a rider as it was my first BMX BITD.

You're 100% right not to touch the nickel - that would be a crime.

glenboy:

bigfatolly:
@KungFunky it was advertised as a 78 DeCoster,I will have a look at the frame number.
