Help with my first (BMX) build of Ammaco Team Sprint - any help appreciated !

<< < (5/16) > >>

Swivel:
Nice bars, deffo ammaco mate! Simon buy them now  ;D

As for the redline stem, if its a proper one about £60 in a good condition, needs resto about £45 and a copy about £30. You can't really tell the difference with the copy at all mate to be honest, all look the same but some of the redlines are stamped and painted "REDLINE" at the front, some are not (like mine)

Cheers,

Matt  :daumenhoch:

Swivel:

Si mate, hope you're well :)

If you want originality, then it needs a copy Suntour stem. I have an Ammaco one off a Team Sprint. I'll get some photos right now of the stuff for you.

Cheers Matt,

BTW, Who else made V-Bars.   These look like Ammaco...  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kusuki-Alloy-Win-V-Bars-Blue-Oldschool-BMX-NOS_W0QQitemZ220301366970QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220301366970



and these on feebay,



These ones look the closest...  (My old bike had Blue bars - was trying to replicate  that)


I guess its the detail,  how far down the V-Bar is mounted on each varies and compare to original.

here is my original bike,

Swivel:

Si hi mate. All of them are not ammaco bars.

1st one - WinV bars. Alloy. All ammaco's were steel.
2nd one - looks cheap and nasty, v is too low down
3rd one - Wrong style and alloy also, incorrect for ammacos.

If you want blue, buy the correct bars, get them blasted and powdercoated, won't cost you more than £20.

Cheers,

Matt  :daumenhoch:

BTW, checked on the third ones, they are steel... they look pretty close to me.... oooo ponders ponders !  BTW, if I powder coat they wont look the same blue as annodized kit would or dia compes. How do they get that look ?
