Title: Street Beat......The build starts here.
Post by: stevesredvxr on September 15, 2011, 08:10 PM

My new project is ready to begin..... :)

Introducing my NOS Streetbeat frame which cost *** from MK and my Raw 86/87 streetbeat forks which I found on ebay in France for *** quid.
All in thats *** which I think is pretty cool. (French guy did me a huge discount on postage too) :daumenhoch:

Will be having a colour change as its just too gay for me.  :D

Got a few good bits to go on it thanks to Moose for those.
If anyone else has any Skyway bits they think I may need give me a shout (Light blue tuffs anyone??)  ::)

Will keep you posted throughout the build
Cheers Steve

I agree with the above, keep the frame nos and paint the forks :daumenhoch: all lavendar/purple would be classic freestyle combo :4_17_5:

If he want to paint it and other want to save it - why doesn't some one swap frames with him for some thing he can paint - i'm sure some one has a raw one or a paint job that can be removed for what he wants  ?

That is a nice colour combo, I'd leave it too. (Although I have a pink Streetstyler, what do I know.  ;D)

Why not put it in the trade section and swap it with somebody who doesn't like the colour of their frame.  If I had a repainted Beat and someone offered me a NOS one, I'd take their hand off.  Christ, I'd even strip the paint off for them.   :daumenhoch:

Your not having much luck on here Steve  :D   First of all you put your silverfox up for sale and everyone tells you not to sell and now everyone is telling you not to strip this NOS frame   ;D .........   I agree with them too , it's only original once mate  ;)

Surely, like some lads have suggested somebody must have a streetbeat frame they can swap for this one  ???

At the end of the day it's your frame , you do what you want  ;)   ..... be a shame to strip it though  :LolLolLolLol:

Strip it and do it how you want.

Custom colours rule!

There's oodles of original ones.

Trade it & gash some paint onto the other frame , don't fook that one up with stripping it !  :crazy2: ( IMO  ;D ) .

Title: Re: Street Beat......The build starts here.
Post by: stevesredvxr on September 16, 2011, 02:55 PM

Ok I hear you!!!
Anyone wishing to swap the frame get in touch.
I will put an ad in the trade section.
No shitters though as this is nos so would need to be mint or one of those
Raw ones....
I'll give it a couple of weeks for any offers if not the purple one gets it!!! :shocked:

Im pretty sure they are streetstyler forks and not streetbeat ones mate..... not that it makes much difference
