Post by: MartyC on December 13, 2010, 02:28 PM
This has been built for a few weeks now and yesterday I had a little time to take a few pics by the pool...

Lovely build Marty :daumenhoch:
Not many can boast a pink pogo-stick of that magnitude :shocked:
Are shorts allowed in the pool or is it strictly speedo's? And that flip-flop is a tripping hazard :police:

The pogo stick was red when we bought it LOL!

Tripping hazards are all around the pool, namely the kids  ;D

NO SPEEDOS ALLOWED

BUDGIE SMUGGLERS ARE NOT WELCOME IN MY POOL :LolLolLolLol:

KKT rmx, the response to Suntour XCII, only came a bit late, around 86 I think, which sometimes makes remembered as freestyle pedals as they also came in funky fashion colors  :(
They look cool on the vector  :4_17_5:

They came out in 84, were listed as stock pedals on the Vector Victory review in BMX Action Nov 84  :daumenhoch:

lovely bike marty, what condition was it in before you started it? :daumenhoch:

Frame and Forks were in great condition with only a couple of small marks and nicks from being built up before, I got them from our legendary Welsh Northerner Mark "I'm the only gay in the village" J and they have survived the trip from north to south, then London to Perth and two house moves in 2˝ years while we have been here :D.

Thanks for the nice comments by the way guys, I'm really happy with this build and it ranks as one of my favs to put togethr and look at.  All finishes are og except the Suntour seat clamp which Mark "I'm the only gay in the village" J got chromed for me somewhere oopp Narth and the Araya Aeros which were gold and fooked, a strip and polish, new spokes and a good greasing is all they have had   :daumenhoch:

AND the pool is lovely at the moment, I am tempted to jump a bike into it but the missus would drown me in it if I did  :LolLolLolLol:
