As the ride dates avalanche out of the ether, one or two have declared their interest in parts for their spring builds.
Are you building a personal grail?
Are you building your childhood bike?
Are you giving an old one a facelift?
Are you keeping it a secret until MK?
I'll go first:
My rider is getting a facelift

I wasn't going to but it all started when I bought these grips:

Then these came along:

And I couldn't say no to this then!

We're still work in progress and some of the old parts will be used, but here's a sneak:

See you all at Chester :daumenhoch: :Great_Britain:
-
Mmmmm! A Lemon Curd CW :LolLolLolLol: "wantit"
-
Was going to be the Jag, really want to do a JMC but it looks like it'll be the Jag :-\ Not convinced though as i have no 24" parts at all for it.
-
Nick, I liked the grey and white combo, but this just looks mint up to now, a top colour paring IMHO. :daumenhoch:
I'm just starting to look at what parts I need for Tom's Patterson :coolsmiley:.
I'd like to have it built by Chester, but it's going to be a tough job to do that. :-\
-
Got a skyway rider on the go and also my childhood bike.
Always on the look out for that next POS build as well :daumenhoch:

To be honest Dan I jumped in with this as a concept, it still needs to grow on me. "nono"
Those that have seen it love it.
I agree with the white/grey combo. Simple yet striking. :smitten:
We'll see :LolLolLolLol:

You bought that Patterson Dan? "wantit" Fantastic. I think a few of us wanted it if I remember - No funds or room for it in my case. Made up that you've bought it & looking forward to seeing it :D. I know you were keen to do a few race bike builds.
-
Looks great Nick ;)
I am building three bikes up at the moment:
White powdered Robinson Gussett 1983
80/81 Chrome Robinson Gussett
1981 GT Pro Euro BB in chrome
And thinking of going to a black chrome frame n forks with my other 83 GT Pro :coolsmiley:
I then intend to return to certain builds I have to refine them

Yeah, had a chat with Tom and the deal was done.
I'm not too clued up on my Patty's, but know there was one one my wish list. It's all down to funds with me too Andy, I may just get a few bits for it, then leave it for MK, there a little Hutch I'm chasing too. :-\ :daumenhoch:
-
I have two on the go at the moment...
1st up is the same model as my childhood bmx. A Falcon Pro Kappa. Have everything needed for the build except the wheels. Will hopefully get them next month. The frame & forks were in excellent survivor shape, but I wanted them to look mint, so off to Superbike Dan they went.
Here's a few pics..

and then next is the one I wanted to build since getting back into this BMX malarkey. Hutch Pro Racer. Been taking my time with this one - Almost 4 years now! Just waiting for a few parts to come back from the polishers, and then it can be built up.

Both will be done by May at the latest

2 crackers underway Andy, I'm sure.
I have the same love for a POS Falcon Pro than I do for a Hutch. :smitten:
-
Thanks Dan. Me too on the POS point. Much rarer too, though not as desirable to many as Hutches, Pattersons, Skyways etc..

Good stuff here :daumenhoch:

My next build will be chrome, and 90's, and an S&M.
Nick, your CW will look terrific in the new colours. That f+f used to belong to me, it kinda looked like my bike stilltuntil now. More pics of that please.
-
Got a couple of things I'd like to get finished but doubt I'll have time >:(
My RB and PK 79 winter national replicas
79 DB IV
77 DG
And a possibly something that to my knowledge hasn't been seen on RAD before :whistle:

My next build is my 82 Haro Freestyler:

Some absolutely blinding builds coming off lads, looks like MK is going to have an amazing S&S company this year. :4_17_5:
-
I've got a pair of bikes on the go, kinda like a set with similar components, hopefully they'll be ready for March.
This year i'm focussing on 2 new builds, thankfully with the help of RAD and Jim Melton i'm making progress on one.
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,168543.msg1687617.html#msg1687617
Then I have a very special project that will progress, hopefully towards a 2015 finish which I am certain has only ever been done once before in the history of BMX... (Yes, i've deliberately attempted to be dramatic).

Is DY not on facebook ??? or has he totally disappeared from the BMX scene.
I know they're obvious questions but it seems weird as a shed load of old pro's are still around and very much in contact with people. :-\
-
I don't do Facebook but might be worth breaking the habit, although I think I've got all the answers. Only grey area is the stem.

This is a build that's going to take me well into the spring after having the welding, chrome, anodising and engineering completed.
I think most of you would have already seen it, sorry if i'm repeated myself.
I now have the 30mm bb cups to weld into the frame, from the engineer I am waiting for an adapter to mount a rear brake disc and a 60mm longer crankshaft.
When i get these parts together I will post some more pics.

My Spring Build is ..............
My bathroom ::) (boring)
-
Get performer painted and rebuilt
Something cheeky from FBM
And I may get the Gen 1 chromed
And sell a shitload more
-
Get this built up hopefully before the next Lindon ride. It's off at SBD for powder love (in the post as we speak) then I need to sort the build components, I don't have the bars or stem yet and I also need to figure out which colour parts to use, so it will take me well into Spring to finish it.
