Title: 79 Robinson update
Post by: In2 bmx on October 01, 2011, 01:20 PM: Well you got your wishes and the frame and bars are survivor chrome . And with a lot of hard work and polishing with peek it's come up really well .

Only problem is the 78 dated elina seat has a red JT racing decal that lookes like it's been on from the 70's

I cant really take it off . :-\ it will be the only red part on the bike . Will I get away with it ???

Started putting a few bits on it last night to see how it's gonna look .
Campy cranks , chainring and bolts .. Campy hubs

First look :smitten:
