Title: Parts starting to arrive for my GHP 24" Cruiser Reproduction Build.
Post by: martylaa on June 11, 2010, 11:19 AM
Ok so i have ordered a GHP 24" Cruiser Frame/Fork and Bars from Greg, with the intention to actually build and ride instead of show ponies, i'm going to build this in Red/Black and Chrome and i'm going down the repop everything road on this one, so just got home and some new bits have turned up:

Reproduction Roger Decoster Bullseye Limited Issue Pedals in Red/Black

Reproduction Hutch Deep H Stem or a Hutch Inverted Cruiser Stem, not sure which one i'll use so ordered both before JDB wised up and re-adjusted his prices :LolLolLolLol:

Retro Profile Box Cranks in Chrome

Skyway 24" Graphite Tuffs Repops coming as we speak, i have a Kashimax Aero Repop Seat in the Garage and some other nice bits to put on it to like some Black Oakley O Wings etc etc etc

I'll post some more pics up as and when the parts arrive and the bike turns up right through to the final build.

Will prob piss a few people off with a Repop build but at least i'll not be too scared to ride this one. :daumenhoch:

They're gonna set the bike off a treat Steve, got them from ColouredTuffs, he only had one set, very limited run of them, Red/Black spot on for the build i have in mind.

What's the thinking behind the statement ???

Are they a poor quality repro or you just dislike Hutch products in general (or neither)?

Was thinking about getting one :-\

Post by: martylaa on June 15, 2010, 09:13 PM
not to sure what retro brake or headset i could put on it, got some black oakley o wings and some black ame tri's in the garage which i could use on it as well, but struggling to think of a headset and brakes, maybe a beartrap headset but brakes.....
any suggestions?
Title: Re: Parts starting to arrive for my GHP 24" Cruiser Reproduction Build.
Post by: stevochb on June 15, 2010, 09:34 PM
I would say the well known. 1000 or 900. But you might want something special, not sure whats out there though. Them big wheels look 8) btw.
Title: Re: Parts starting to arrive for my GHP 24" Cruiser Reproduction Build.
Post by: martylaa on June 15, 2010, 09:42 PM
yeah i know steve but i was trying to use repop parts only on this not sure if there has been any repop brake or headset bits out there, if not i'll just stick a beartrap headset and prob a mx1000 tech3 combo
yep just sat not with itchy fingers waiting for the bike to arrive
hope i can snag this floval to keep me busy over the summer.....

thinking brakes i'm gonna have to go down route of maybe putting original 900 rear caliper with tech 3 lever, beartrap 2 headset and a dc seat clamp, evrything else will be new repop stuff
think i'm in love with those pedals mind :smitten:
