Persil white Twin Top Tube Rebel Freestyler build

(1/8) > >>

Finally got round to taking some pics of this.  Have tried to find a before pic, where it was stripped back to bare metal prior to sending to SBD for powder.  Best I could find was it freshly powdered but not yet built.  Took a while to get round to photos of it finished but glad I hung on cos the Hutch hi calibres I bought recently really finish it off.



Parts include:

NOS Rebel padset (this is what inspired the build as I never thought I would find one)
Rebel f/f powdered by Dan (thanks :daumenhoch:) and decals by Del (cheers :daumenhoch:)
NOS CW moustache bars
NOS bubble font A'me Super Soft grips
Redline forklifter stem (set up with potts mod)
Hatta h/set a and Beartrap BB
Nippon calipers and tech 4 levers
Powdered sugino 175 crank, Tuff nek chain wheel and (I think) PPP power disc with red/blue bolts
Hutch Hi Calibre pedals
Powdered stamped GT layback stem
Dominator handler seat
Powdered Dia Compe hinged clamp
4 x Skyway pegs
White new tuffs (only thing I would like to replace with era correct but they look ok cos its mid to late 80's anyway so doesnt need alloy hubbed)
Panaracer freestyle tyres














And lastly as it hangs in my shed with an original Rebel padde plate and NOS confed flag  :D:

Looks great mate  :daumenhoch:

If you had listed the parts and their colours I would have thought that isn't going to work , too much White  :D  But it does and it has come out really well imo :daumenhoch:

Del:
that's gleaming! very clean build, love the 2 sets of chainring bolts  8)

Cheers, for me an all white twin top tuber is the ultimate mid 80's BMX. 


This is how I built it first time around and hated it.
