Title: 1976 Redline Squareback Finished pic heavy
Post by: In2 bmx on June 30, 2012, 12:50 PM: Well i thought id have a bit of a change from all the Robinson's :smitten: .. I have had this one a while now while looking for the right parts .. All the parts apart from the seat post and clamp have come from accross the pond . Most of the parts have a story like the wheels.. I saw these and wanted to buy them but the guy no matter how much i begged or how much money i offered he would not ship to the UK :knuppel2: .. So a friend on facebook ( Thanks Scott Brummell ) put me in contact with Justin sellers .. I'd never even spoke to him before .. Anyway he Won the Wheels and posted them out to the UK for me :4_17_5: There's some nice people in this Old School Bmx .. :daumenhoch:

Big thanks to Joff with help on this one too :-* It's been his baby too and just as exited as me .. Thanks to him and Tony for coming building it with me last week :4_17_5:

Hope you like

Post by: kungfunky on July 01, 2012, 12:23 AM: The thing about 70's builds that make them so special is that they are pure and simple to look at, no frills and bling dripping all over them like plenty of later bikes. These are raw and simply stunning bikes. :4_17_5: top work indeed.

It's nice to see a factory white Squareback instead of all the nickle finish ones so hats off for that pal and I only know of 2 other Squarebacks in the UK which makes them nice and exclusive over here :coolsmiley:

Plus as a bonus it's nice to see the pimped bike stands finally catching on ::) ;)
