Another perfectly executed piece of British BMX history :coolsmiley:
I don't know where you learn of these beings let alone find them.
Top work Phil, looking forward to MK16's "what the fook is one of them" unveiling from you.

This is just awesome - I love it :smitten:

From what I can remember Chas Smith rode for a shop in Bradford called Pro-line this was their/his own brand. I think the shop was owned by his father.

Those forks are cool, bit like the early 90s Haro :)
Excellent job. Love the forks. :daumenhoch:
-
I can't add or say anything else other than this: :bow:

Such a great build Phil. I remember racing Chas Smith back in 84 a the North East Regionals.

Bit late on this but just seen the pictures pop up on Google.
I went to school with Chas Smith. His garage was full of these back in the '80s.
Great to see this bike looking like new. Good work.
