coooooooooool  :daumenhoch: i think only the bars stem seat n peds have changed since i built it, the build quality on that frame is second to none, its an early SE made one, the welds are a work of art. as for weight when i weighed it for postage it was just under 43lbs, nice lump  :daumenhoch:

TBH mate, since putting the bike on bmx museum I've had a few messages asking about selling it so I'm tempted to send it across the pond if I can turn a little profit on it.  >:D :daumenhoch:

I  had one of these.  it only lasted for two weeks until the rear drop out cracked doing frame whips.  And they wouldnt replace it under warranty coz the damage was caused using the bike for doing stunts on. instead of just being a normal ride up and down the street cycle.  i was shocked. seeming all there adverts showed various people pulling freestyle stunts and big airs.  Being told it wasnt made for freestyling was wrong.  i went back to riding a haro. at least u knew where you stood.
