Silver Streak build thread *Finished*

When I first got interested in BMX an older lad who lived near us had a silver streak. I loved it and when we went to the bike shop before Christmas 1982 to pick our bikes I hinted to my dad how much I loved the silver streak, I knew it was out of my parents price range so choose a Pro Star, it shared the same advert in action bike so was the closest I could get. I hoped like you do when your a kid that he’d secretly got me the silver streak, but no I got the Pro Star which I loved, but the Silver Streak was always a bike I’ve wanted and recently I picked up this rusty old 83 complete with a set of bars.









I’ve already given the forks an oxy bath and have come up pretty good although they’re still pitted.
It won’t be built totally to spec but I’ve already got a few parts for it, OPC set up, Suntour XCII’s, SR seat clamp and Shimano tourney caliper and pre bent lever.

Yep I’ll keep updating as I go along with it Dan, hopefully I’ll be able to get parts off here for it, I’ve been through hell building the burners relying on the Burner Facebook pages it’s like a different world from RAD ;D

I got parts for mine off some genuinely top Radsters, Del, Brunmie, Howser, to name a few.
