It is a lovely frame. :smitten: The skill thats gone into making it. :4_17_5: Nice to hear its coming to the uk and looking forward to seeing the build. :)

Not really sure what to say other than it's not for me but good luck with the build.
The main issue with the bloke in OZ was that he dished out a bs story about the frame and it's originality which helped him win 1st place at a show. He was then stripped of the trophy when the judges found out JC made it.
I'm with Sean and if you intend to replicate one of Stu's STR's it will be a very difficult build.
No doubt about JC's welding skills he's very much a craftsman.

I think it's a cracking frame and building it would make a great project :daumenhoch:
I don't understand your reluctance to use replica parts as like it's a replica to start with :-\
I'm with DTTDB on the repops, I'd build it with as many repop parts as I could to suit a 79 bike, for example, Cinelli Unicantor seat and Cheng Shin 183s, I'd only use NOS were I had to.
I agree with Stidds about the difficulty in doing a replica of Stu's bike without the patina.
If you want to be really flamed you should post it on BMXsociety. :LolLolLolLol:

Even though it's a copy , in 30 years time it will be a rare beast

no issue with replica/repop parts just don't use em which may sound hypocritical buying this but as there is no other option went for it , I like to swap n change my builds around so would rather stick with old school parts for that reason I'm sure people put anniversary parts on there old school bikes just like people put old school parts on their anniversary frame sets so trying to make my fake look as authentic as I can that is all, I'm no elitist nor purist as all those who constantly give me shit (Denzil) refinishing my survivors lol, will testify
