Well since my first post a couple of months ago I've been buying the parts for my first bmx since I was about 14! I decided to go for a Ruffell Streetbeat because I always wanted one BITD but they were abit out of my price range then. Now I've bought all the parts and put it all together I've got to say I'm chuffed to bits with it because it's gorgeous - I am going to ride it but for the moment I'm just enjoying looking at it. Overall i'm very pleased with how it's turned out - apart from a little defect in the powder that was there when it came from the USA. I wasn't sure about the seatpost at first but now it's fitted I like the look of it. Just deciding what colour decal set to put on it - I'm thinking silver would look good? then it will be finished, my wife thinks I'm flogging it as soon as it's finished, but I don't think I'll be able to part with it now I've got it. Any comments welcome just be gentle becuase it is my first attempt. In the end I like to think of it as a Ruffell inspired bike becuase I didn't want to spend a fortune on it and then be scared to ride it. Here's a couple pics.
