Post by: kungfunky on May 05, 2012, 09:41 PM: Oooooooooooooooooh yes indeed thats class. I can appreciate the time taken over this to get it right, sourcing the parts, doing the research scratching your head but all worth it in the end. It's great to see builds that have actually had time spent doing the ground work to get it finished, rather than a morning spent knocking one up.

Great work Samo :4_17_5: :4_17_5:

Post by: Gnarlyscoots on May 06, 2012, 07:59 AM: Now thats a replica worth having in any 'trophy' room. Not many people choose to rebuild that one Sam, great choice buddy and attention to detail. Time well spent imo, stunning :smitten: Well done!

Thats a keeper for sure :coolsmiley:
Title: Re: guess who? My bow-out build.... better pictures 20th post down
Post by: meticulous on May 06, 2012, 08:02 AM: thanks guys..... :)

the frame took hours to get right, every stripe was masked off on a ALL blue frame which took ages as a measured every line off the origianal pictures, the first time i did this all the paint came off when i took off the masking tape, so i had to completely strip the frame and start again, Grrrrr.... never EVER again.....

Post by: Deano on May 06, 2012, 11:45 AM: Proper replica and even better than an ET imo.

Blinding work + effort well worth 12 months to finish.

Class just class :daumenhoch: :smitten:

Post by: hunterdubber on May 06, 2012, 12:02 PM: Been a fair while coming , but a stonnkingly iconic build :coolsmiley:

This does though Sam. The bike looks Lush. (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ll167/glynn9371/emoticons/LOVIN.gif) :4_17_5:

Post by: KeithyT on May 07, 2012, 12:06 AM: Absolutely excellent and true replica film bike. We were talking about this on Burnerworld a little while ago, and I'd been looking at the film stills and that guy on the museum who did one and got Bob Haro to sign it.

I like "Mike's" bike too which I think is white with red stripes. Must have taken you ages.

I have to get a KZ-1 one day...

Cool stuff :coolsmiley:
