1987 MBK Bercy Masters
Chilli Rinse:
Gonna build as is Damo and use as a shopper ride. The grips have already been cut off, the ones pictured above might work but I found some white a'me grips in my stash. The plate is off too, looks better for it I reckon. I agree on the bars, the Bercy bars are cool. The EZ's look good on it but I do want to tease the og's back into shape eventually. Cool story about your mates bike, it's a small world hey. Mine was bought from France too. I knew the quality wasn't the best but it's solid, straight with no dents cracks and this bike has been very well used. Does a 22.6 seat post ring a bell with you? The 22.2 Odyssey I tried didn't clamp in at all.

No problem Damo. No beer can needed :LolLolLolLol: I've just bought a cheap Hsin Lung 4130 crmo lay back which is 22.6. Should do the job and look better too. If the few bits I'm waiting on arrive by the weekend I'll be posting some finished pics :daumenhoch:

Those Hsin Lun posts are cool, i have had a couple. they are alot better than cheaper more angular versions. Are you going to change the tyres? A pair of Black or white Kenda K55's would look great on there...

That's good to know about the post :daumenhoch:
I'm waiting a pair of Panaracer HP406's in white to arrive. They were part of a Tyre bundle. The others are Knarly knobbies I need for another build. Got lucky they were listed together. I did fit some Odyssey Barefeet I have but wasn't happy with the look. If they were white I?d have left them on. Just waiting for a decent saddle to pop up but in the same breath I'm skint Skint
You're a freestyle man so any ideas on what to go with. I've decided against a Trick Top, I'm thinking handler or tioga fs. Something like that. What? say you ??
