don't do anything to it , just take it down to him , tell him its alloy , and it will be like new when you get it back ,Its all part of the £30 service , but now is a good time to do any repairs on it before it goes in ,thats if it needs any that is .

lo ad i thought that was you. no unfortunatley i never got the gt built. i bought a haro master f&f about 3 weeks after nos from biagio and started building that and then the wife noticed how much had gone from my paypal account on my "cheap" master build lol. i told her that redline forklifter stems are a work of art but she wasn't convinced. anyway i sold it about a month ago to raise some cash to buy a looptail ripper which i have sitting downstairs ready for a full refurb. while i'm on can anyone tell me what colours the rippers came in originally? i'm thinking of going black and gold but i'm not sure.  ;D ;D

one of the members from here bought it off me from ebay but i didn't catch his forum name. it went to london but the lad was from the north east originally to what sounded like a very nice collection, the lad said he had some nice gt parts to go on it so it might end up in the museum.
