Recreating my '98 Quadangle. Come with me on a journey of epic proportions.

Who owns the arcade? Do you know? I'm sure he was called Dean. Used to be a pro apparently. I met him through a friend of his.
Tbh I was thinking the pier for the tart pics.

Carlo Griggs built the ramps, or his dad did. This was back in the '80's. He was world champion way back i think.
Carlo owns Proper BMX.
His sister owns the cafe there, not sure if they own the whole lot though :-\
Midschoolfool:
I see. I'm originally from Brixton, London. I moved to the USA in 2000 and split with my wife out there and came back to the UK in 2008. I had this mate who I knew from Selsea and we agreed to meet at the arcade there. He told me the owner was called Dean and his brother was an ex pro/world champ. So unless my brain has gone foggy it may be his brother I met.
I ate at the café. Has American no plates on the walls yeah? I promised the owner my old ones but never went back.
I'm remarried now, so may go down there when it warms up a bit with my wife :)
Midschoolfool:
OK so you guys have waited long enough, sorry about that. The sun is hiding again and it's peeing with rain. We had one day of sunshine this week and typically it was "go see mum" day.
The bike is ready though. I aired up the tyres to 50 PSI yesterday when the pump came and dialled the brakes in a bit more (the back one). So she's ready to go now..
As for it being my "cheap" bike? um yeah, it was anything but. I figured it all out last night and got a big shock.

Looks sweet...I like it more than I thought I would. always a shocker when you add up a build afterwards! :daumenhoch:
