Title: New member from UK
Post by: phaze81 on August 15, 2016, 01:44 AM: Hello to everyone at :radbmxsmilie:

Thought I'd pop my cherry to say hi & introduce two new members to the family. I am starting to enjoy my bikes again after many years away from a BMX . My first is a 99 GT Vertigo with all original GT parts. Its not a great bike but the special thing about it is it was owned by my brother who rode it maybe a few times then put in the shed. 17 years later i took it from the shed and this immaculate condition bike, shiny Y22 Xrims and 3piece crank can really turn a few heads.
My second is actually my first ever full build. After buying a 95 Haro Shredder Deluxe frame I've now been buying parts for it these past weeks. I plan to build it in one go. I'm trying to keep as old school as possible , buying from across the globe in search of original parts.
It has so far ...

Haro Forks
Haro bars (not kneesavers)
fusion one piece crank
bear trap pedals
layback w/ MX clamp
éclat Webster seat
dia compe bulldog 884fs on the front
dia compe 883qr for the back
original gyro2
YST A-headset
MX-2 stem
Tech 77 levers
Skyway Mags
Skyway grips

Many other parts are still on order plus i had to buy the tools I need to complete the build. Then it's , what to do next? I'd like to go older than 95, something I haven't owned before. Not a GT, Haro or Mongoose. I quite fancy a Skyway BMX and I will definitely be more likely to built my bikes from now on and not buy complete. Much more interesting this way.

Well, that's me . Phaze81 is officially in the house of Rad. Thank you for reading , I will be posting pictures of my build as I work through it these coming weeks.
