Era correct survivor part or NOS newer part ?

(1/3) > >>

bobafett:
Right then - i've started getting pretty finicky lately about getting things as era correct as i can find (or afford !) for my builds..... but sometimes it's hard to go with the era correct part if you have a later NOS part that can take it's place and look all shiney and new. So I was wondering what the general consesus among rad members was......... ???

double chevron:
woud say era correct, although I haven't always been like that  ;)

munners:
I tend to go with a total NOS build or a total survivor build.

Im not a lover of mis and match.

Only my opinion.

Take your time and go era-correct wherever possible. It's a false economy going for parts that aren't quite correct if that is your goal.

But, it's your bike, so build what makes you happy and stuff what people think. It's all BMX and all good.

if you have to ask, there is only one answer. era correct. you know it's not right even when it looks nice. that is a feeling that sucks ass when you finish a build. everybody else loves it, but you just look at it rubbing your chin thinking about that wrong stem or wrong brakes. like having 901's or nippon's on your laserlite.
