Title: phew!!!mrd expert,done!!
Post by: markyp on July 30, 2010, 03:44 PM

just in time for mk!!the chromers only finished with this yesterday morning so its been bit of a mission but hey ho here we go!!!!
                                                                           firstly a massive thanks to sid1972 for polishing the rims on this one,sid your a star!!
                                                                           when our resident mrd farmer steve(animal) decided to let this frame go i had to have it,id always loved these bitd,with the low slung top tube they look fast even when sat still and although it was only a frame it didnt matter as my mate had an mrd badlander hanging up in his mums garage for the past 20 years and he let me have the forks for free!!
                                                                           the frame and forks have had a fresh chrome job as have the bars,the rest is made up of a mix of nos,refurbed and minty survivor parts.the crappy camera really doesnt do this one justice,its proper blinging!!thanks to all radsters who left me skint!!looking forward to meeting you all at mk! :daumenhoch:
!

parts as follows:
rechromed 1984 mrd expert frame with mrd badlander forks
rechromed 2nd gen hutch pro bars
polished araya 7x with nos suzue lf hubs
survivor redline 400 crank with sugino sealed bb
