Really lost touch . Not built anything for over a year .
stidds:
I recently bought a frame that I have been after for ages.
Now I have found a spec sheet from BMX Action Bike and realised the parts I need are really going to cost a fair amount. For example, Kashimax Aero saddle, Dia-Compe MX1000 rear caliper, ACS hubs and stem, Takagi cranks, KKT pedals.
I never buy these kind of parts, I cannot ever remember building a bike with a Kashi Aero saddle, and rarely use MX1000 calipers.
I have been out of this building 80's bikes for a long time, the 70's stuff is a lot cheaper and suprisingly a lot easier to source.

Much the same for me also .I Sold 80% of the bikes I had about a year ago to help fund an Rv . I`ve just held on to a Kuwahara Supernova and two large boxes of parts .. Prices now seem really high on most parts ,Is the bubble ever going to burst .

Even better than that Marty, along the same lines but instead of the Team model it is the Super Team. Notice the black tubes but with chrome frame lugs and dropouts.
This is a picture of the bike built in a magazine...
