Off the back of a thread I posted about keeping your RAD eyes peeled. ED spearheaded a collection together to get my nephew Jack back on two wheels. Here's the original thread http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=123158.0
This is what rad came up with in the space of a few days [sorry about the terrible phone pics, couldnt find proper camera and it was getting dusky out side]

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN & Griff were 1st off the mark to offer bits without a moments hesitation... I just said 'put a list up' :angel:
Most people on here have had something nicked at sometime or other ( Munnyella arranges a weekly 'nick-in' for his local thieving cnuts ) and it gives you an empty feeling and an ANGRY feeling.
Canceling that badness out with a bit of good ol' :Great_Britain: generosity is the best reaction possible :daumenhoch:
-
Jaymz, it looks cracking bud - let's hope the thevin' fookas don't get hold of this one or we'll have to all go round and rip their heads off :knuppel2:
I hope Jack enjoys it, and if I get hold of a better f&f in the near future I'll get it sent over bud as that 'Goose is bomb-proof but wieghs a little too much - would you fookin' believe it, I found the seatguts and a rear AD brake I could have given you too last night looking for something else...... Sorry about that but the boyz on here came to the rescue anyway thankfully :uglystupid2:
You've just gotta love this site - well done lads :smitten: :daumenhoch:
-
Top guys! Good one. :daumenhoch:
Get the camera out for the 'hand over', can't wait to see his face :4_17_5:
-
AWESOME WORK! gotta love the guys on RAD :4_17_5:
-
Love it 8)

Ok guys, due to changing isp's and their retarded mentality, ive come home from work and we have no brroadband or phone. So im doing this off my phone, which isnt easy when your phone is the size of a matchbox and your thumbs are like sausages. I handed the bike over to jack on saturday and he was more than thrilled, in fact he was speechless, which is very rare for jack.
there are pics on my facebook page, if you ask griff he will post you a link to my profile so you can have a look, or he could post them on my behalf as I cant paste links on this so called smart phone. Or search my usernaame on the radbmx facebook page.
@ SWEETBEATS, your parcel arrived today, cheers fella and give mrs sweetbeats a cuddle from me!
@ oldtired yourparcel also arrived today, and I have to say im pretty jealous, thats one cool lid, loving the subtl graphics on it.
i'll try and get the pics up asap for you all to see, but got time off work atm so cant even use there connectioion. Will try to rob one of the neighbours ones tomorrow, just need to pic up a mem stick from a friend with ssome useful wifi software on ;)
cheers all jaymz

hold tight - will see if I can get em up :daumenhoch:
-
here you go Jay - had to screengrab them as it wouldn't let me save them from your FB
