I do like a nice  Murray myself  :smitten:

but the budget New school 48 s wheels and tyres let it down big time  :crazy2: ok for riding though  :)

Replace with any old school survivor  steels ,,CMC's  etc ,for under £50 will make that bike killer   :daumenhoch: :smitten:

It's a nice  bike  it deserves it  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

Anymore pics of the bus  ::)  :4_17_5:

The early Murrays had black knobblies  :daumenhoch:

I'm sure blue knobblies are still available  :)

Murry  :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:   wouldn't mind one of those again   if your doing the lesters yellow (spec with the blue frame)   then the tires would have been blue knobbies big square ones  :daumenhoch:

Top work John!I love the meteor-lite,reminds me of my first bmx!looks well with the LG forks!Is that another meteor-lite frame in the background i spotted??!!do you make it over for bug jam at all? :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: finally got something done .
Post by: ratty67vw on June 07, 2012, 04:01 AM
cool thanks for the replies now where do i get me some knobblies either black or blue  :daumenhoch:
deemann i have never been to bug jam . its a show that i have been meaning to go to but something always comes up . i do get over to volksworld / peppercorn /and try to get to vanfest most years . plus a few smaller shows around essex when i get a chance .
the frame in the background is a falcon prostyler (think thats rite) i got the frame and forks from oldschoolflava off here back in march  :daumenhoch:.
hopeing to do the mid school GT (going oldskool with it ;) ) and my fugi mx 500 next  (another old skool cheepie  ;D )
then the falcon and a magnum bmx . (there seems to be a cheepie bmx theam going on here  :2funny: )
i also have a few more but burner seems to be a dirty word around here  :2funny: :2funny: but i have 2 mk1s and a mk2 .
i did have a halfords team turbo but i cant find it in any of my sheds i may have cut it up  :-[

Man,try and make it over for Bug Jam!It's a top show and party!It's what inspired me to get back into bmx!I was paying more attention to the bikes than the cars! :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: finally got something done .
Post by: ratty67vw on June 10, 2012, 03:27 PM
