OK so here's the story behind this project:
I guess why would be the best place to start: Well when I first laid eyes on Mux's Torker build (if you've never seen it you will find photos of it on os-bmx), anyways I thought to myself I would really like that, but unfortunatley soon after its completion it was broken up and sold - needless to say I didn't have those sort of funds at that time.
Then whilst searching through ebay I spotted a cream kos f&f and that was the start of it. I scored it for a very good price but then had to sit in four/five hours of M25 traffic jam to pick it up, and just got there in time before the seller went away on holiday!
Now almost a year and a half later (rough estimate) it is complete:
I have loads of people to thank for their help (sorry if I can't remember you all but its been a little while so if you spot something you sold to me for this build, my upmost thanks!)
But most of all thanks goes out to Mux (mike) for that inital spark that started the journey!

Cheers All!
Dave great to catch up with you yesterday after what? 20+years. I'll bring it down next time and you can take it for a rip to see what you think? I bet I can persuade you to build a cruiser next! :daumenhoch:
VINOAH: I took the photos in the lounge yesterday evening, its pretty tight fitting it all in hence no side shots, It would be great to have the space to stand 10feet back from the subject and get all the lighting right, but if you could have seen the setup you would have laughed.... one light set up on the dining room table the other on the sofa! ::)
-
Dan,be good if you could,i have got a Hutch cruiser(and a 1999 GT box stay cruiser-for sale!)so we could go for a spin.
