hey guys,
here it is, thanks very much for all the support even on the implest of questions even tho im from the darkside everyone was very helpfull with parts and tech answers
this was my first foray into old school bmx and wont be my last had to do this build as its my memory. hope you like it.
all thats missing is the headbadge as im getting a custom one with white surround done
and underneath the top tube pad there is no decal as i screwed it up but thats en route
im also building upmy number plate so i'll get pics with that on soon.
the intentions of the build from the ooutset were to run with the blue at the front and white at the rear them based on the division of the paintwork
yet i wanted to retain some of the original character and its identity as a team replica rather than a team pro lookalikey. and much of the original bioke remains such as the toptube pad and cable connector at the front.
everything is meant to be very much raleigh, hence the r nut on the seatclamp, r valve caps etc
i hope i succeeded...
