She's finally arrived - Changa Build

Hey guys,
Hope you're all doing ok. Been a little slack on the build front lately, couple of reasons really. Firstly, against doctors, consultant's, and Physio's advice (I basically said f-it) I've been out for some gentle cross-country mountain bike rides each day this week. It's been amazing to get back on a bike again, I feel fantastic. Yes the back's giving me a little trouble, but I feel alive again, so imho worth every twinge (as long as things don't go completely Pete Tong and I end up have to tell all those medical lot what I've been up to :LolLolLolLol:). Been getting in about 10-12km per day, so all good, but meant my build focus has been a little off target.

Secondly, yes, I've a few build bits to fettle, but in truth I'm waiting for some big-ish items to come back from the chromers; bars, cranks, etc. On that note, received another little teaser from the chroming magician tonight that I thought I'd share with you all, as they had me drooling :smitten::

So, sorry, not a proper update, but felt it would be good to share those pics. I'll get my act together soon and get a proper update sorted.
Hope you're all staying safe.
Stay :radbmxsmilie:

Beautiful. I am incredibly impressed ! not so much by the bike but the love and devotion and attention to detail (sorry man, won't like I don't like old bikes).
Love the little touches like the DC bolt etc. BITD we were skint so I have fitted many rear brakes to forks. It deffo looks so much cleaner, and nothing to break your toe nail when doing foot jams :D
Really is lovely to see someone enjoying something so much ! you can't put a price on those feels. fistblump

By no means an update, but just a little teaser. I've just returned home from hospital, for long awaited back surgery. On getting home I walked in to he bedroom to one thing I'd forgot, lightly fitted parts, received back from the chromers & gently bolted on to the build just before I left... A site that made me smile

Full updates will resume (with my normal waffle) once I'm allowed wield some tools again :'(
And if you could all pretend there's no vdc freestyle bars on ebay at the moment, and thus stop bidding them up I'd be even happier :LolLolLolLol:
