Scorpion TX

MartyC:
Took this little ride to Epic last night and thought it would be good to show everyone what I was hoping to acheive and how the restoration went.

Firstly, my first BMX bike from bitd; a Scorpion TX with a Mongoose Gold Stem and an ACS Z-rim (while waiting for a replacment Tuff II from Alpine Sports).



My holy grail was all about re-building this bike but where to start?

I found this on ebay...



Started a parts hunt and then set about some restoration work...



Sent the frame and forks to the paintmeister SuperbikeDan...







Got some decals made up (thanks Cheekythirtysix) and ended up with all this...



I put it all together for EPIC...



A classic 1980 all round BMX Bike  :daumenhoch:

Jt:
