Great build Rich, I'm well impressed :smitten: , thanks for all the info so far, looking forward to seeing that crank!
I'm going to get some of them pads, just need a headset to put them on . . . and everything else . . . I feel an expensive month coming on!
Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Keep going mate . . .

Thanks mate - I've followed a couple of your builds since I joined the site a few weeks ago! If mine comes out half as nice as those I'll be chuffed!

Hi Kaner,
I bought a Hatta MX2 which is the original headset but it was chrome so I had it dechromed, and black chromed which is much more resiliant to knocks and won't chip like paint. It looks as if it was the original finsh but it's an expensive process (I now have the worlds most expensive head set but I couldn't find a black MX2 anywhere).
Nikyo (i think that's how you spell it) do a matt black MX2 type headset and they go on Ebay for about a tenner new. Other than that, Tioga and Tange MX2's are idential to the Hatta ones.
The good thing about the Hatta is it has the correct spacers so that you can put a Headlock on - Suntour original although Tange ones are cheaper and more available. Otherwise you can just put the lock bolt from the headset set if you see what I mean......... :uglystupid2:
Mine was a box of bits until I got a headset and all of a sudden I could start putting it back together

Looking good mate, don't forget to bring it down to the shop when it's finished. Who did the wheels in the end, BMX Plus?
