OK - posting the pics took longer than restoring the bike but here goes!!!

Firstly many thanks to all of you who offered me help advice and parts, especially Jimwise and Mattdub.  I think I would have given up without this site!!!





This is my childhood bike.  Unforgivably, I allowed to deteriorate in my garage after my daughter was born but now it lives again.

Generally is is as I pulled it out of the garage but it has a few subtle newer parts because it is a regular ride and not just for show. These include the Odyssey frequency tyres, a sealed BB and a linear cable on the front potts mod (I wanted to try one and it works really nicely!)

Specs are:

USA Trickstar F&F
Action Zone bars - I love these, although I have read some derogatory comments on here!
GT stem
Beartrap II headset (I could still use your help Twobobrob - if you are reading this!)
Ame tri grips
Tuff IIs with coaster
Sugino chain wheel
Tagagi 1pc cranks (I still can't afford a 3-piece!)
Shimano SX pedals (soon to be replaced with a set of DXs that I am restoring)
Dia Compe Tech 77 levers with Potts II
Mk1 Odyssey gyro
MX1000 rear
FS880 front
Skyway freestyle pads

I hope that you like it.  I know that the black isn't original but who cares when it looks soooo good.  I'll try to post some better pics soon (presuming that these ones work OK)
