Title: Dynomura ;-)
Post by: ED209 on March 07, 2012, 09:07 AM: I'm seeing the new gold look for RADBMX as a 'sign' to post this up :angel:

The story so far... I try and get Classic BMX mag when I can and on the front is this alloy Nomura and its just about the sexiest thing with wheels I have ever seen.

(http://www.23mag.com/mags/classic/cla04.jpg)

I have no love for race bikes but the way this has been built is just beautiful... mega props to Matt Waldren for a sweet bike.

I'm on a budget for anything BMX, my chances are owning one are zero, I wouldn't even really want to ... but I'd been thinking about having a new look for my daughters Dyno NFX... and thats got a nice fat downtube just like the Nomura... ::) 8) :) I show the young lady in question my plan and she things it looks great ( plus she gets props fromt he boys in her year for having a sick looking bike >:D )

So it had to be done... I had to build something that looked as much like Matt's Nomura with a budget of Â£150 ( my wife thought that was a bit over the top ... see what I have to deal with ;D )

... and so was born... the Dyno / Nomura ... or DYNOMURA

Issy's bike looked like this a year or so back but was tiring a bit ... so its time for the switch

Stripped it down, got the angle grinder on all the brake lugs and then is into the homemade spray tent for a coat of aluminum.

...more to follow :)

Post by: ED209 on March 07, 2012, 09:26 AM: I HAD to start the build right... and the one thing that I couldn't skimp on was some Landing Gears... just wacking stickers on the old forks would have been wrong... it took Â£40 out of the budget but it was worth it...

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/i63/209ed/30012012.jpg)

I was a bit concerned about the flange on them but DiscoStu said they'd be fine with an FSA Pig headset ( which he then supplied for a tenner :4_17_5: )

...so off to Dan they went and back they came a nice Cherry Red :smitten:

I knew I'd be getting parts from all over for this so heres a quick breakdown of whats been got so far...

( thanks to all the RAD Members who have helped - its only by paying decent rates stuff that its been possible at all )

James Voivod... the original donator of the Dyno frame
Del... custom decals being worked on now
Steve Firebird... LG decals and a frame pad in the making
SBD... powder on the forks
DiscoStu... the Pig headset
pkripster... Landing gear forks
Brummie David... gold wheels - finally getting them this weekend
MarkyMunn... brake lever and chain ring... AND re-covering the seat in brown suede ^"^
NortyJoff... MX1000A rear brake
...I also got the tyres, cable & grips from people on here but I can't remember who yet... sorry :)

Got a dodgy looking Redline chainring off ebay for Â£8 and it's stripped and polished up a treat.

Got some VP450 Foot Jaws from Retrospect

...its coming together

Post by: brass monkey! on March 09, 2012, 08:09 PM: Ed - that looks very much in the style of the retro NOMEREA from the early 2000's

I don't get mucch chance to show off my old builds, but here goes anyway for a bit of inspiration,.... my moment of glory was this 1982 Nomura build

I bid on one about 6 months ago on ebay, and the seller ended the auction a day from the end and I was winning at the time, not seen one since then >:(

decals and frame pad will finish it off sweet.

Just need a chain, a lil red DC sticker for the brake and to 'white' the MX in... might get some different tyres tho... the walls aren't quite light enough on the ones I've got

Post by: ED209 on March 11, 2012, 06:08 PM: well... I always listen to my familiy's opinion ... and the girls they don't like the gold of my gold wheels ::) :buck2:

They do have a point though - the wheels are a much shinier different tone of gold to the matt gold bits I have sprayed ... and i love how those bits match the seat... so I'm gonna have to move the gold wheels on and get some rims done the same colour or it won't work... then I can have a brake lever & rear brake powdered at the same time.

its coming together though :)

Soz Mark... a fluted post is not in the plan :-*
