my first proper BMX.
so i thought i'd build one, just like the one i had as a kid.
its taken me a while to source the right bits, and i'd like to thank wardy, dordymush, madrok and gashead specifically for finding and providing some of the bits i really needed, and the kapster, for providing the prep and paint for this all important job. Thanks guys.
i'd like to thank my bro, for allowing me to store all my old school shit with him, and for his time, and constant lack of support for my projects. I love you fookface.
with the exception of the seatpost in these pics, which is yet to arrive ( an unstamped nitto) its how it was.
some background pics also, of that fateful christmas day way back when....

Can't have better pictures yet, as someone said they were sending me a new seat post, but didn't bother, so it has the wrong one on it.
To be amended shortly.
