Title: Lets see your 1970's Builds
Post by: monkian on October 01, 2010, 09:10 PM: Even though I haven't finished my current build I'm already thinking ahead to the next one ;D
It's either going to go two ways, stay brand loyal or go for a 70's build 8)

I've seen a few crop up in the past few years in the Tech Section & BOTM and John's 79 Goose got me all excited again ;)
I hope he doesn't mind but I thought I'd get this thread started with one of his pics.
(see build in full here: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=115213 )

Post by: meticulous on October 02, 2010, 08:48 AM: these should just qualify as they are 1970's designs, but made around 1980...
