Loving your homework Grant  :coolsmiley: going to be a belter. Keep an eye on the museum for the Snakies, they do come up. In fact, I'm pretty sure there was and early 80's Giant BMX on the bay recently with these tyres. I'll dig a link up, not sure if it sold  :daumenhoch:

Got a few more goodies for the build.  Finally got a Blue Shot Gun II but it hasn't arrived yet. But here's the rest.
An NOS 'Cycle Pro' headbadge.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ss222/BMX_NIGHT/DSC01147.jpg)
A pair of 'Cycle Pro' packaged TTK pedals. Not KKT lightnings but the next best thing, These babies have hex bolts and not crappy rivets like 'Lightnings'.

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ss222/BMX_NIGHT/DSC01141.jpg)
An NOS pair of Blue O.G.K. MACH grips.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ss222/BMX_NIGHT/DSC01148.jpg)
An NOS Suntour only £40.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ss222/BMX_NIGHT/DSC01154.jpg)
Don't know why but I couldn't resist buying these NOS Cone spanners....I think I've got a Cycle Pro problem.
