  Totally agree Gaz , the feed back i got from my bikes being there was far more rewarding than a trophy mate , one will never please everyone so i'll please myself , i love the build and thats what matters , i've turned down a very very good offer for this  but it's not about the cash it's the love for BMX  and i love this BMX  :smitten:

 Thanks for all the comments guys  :4_17_5:

Not sure if this has the right bars on, may be that's why it didn't win
Seem to remember some one having one at MK 10 with the right bars was offered it for £600

  its personal choice regarding the bars these bars were fitted to the Mk1 Gen1 but were also seen on the Gen2 but they did also do another freestyle bar that Glenboy has on his race Vector with the hoop next to the stem but again its down to choice  and i prefer these Vector bars  :daumenhoch:

Id love to see the rule book on judging if you need the correct bars on a freestyle bike, i dont know Kappy, but this Vector is better than almost all bikes ive seen on here since i joined. Era correct aside, a bike should be secondly judged on its looks, because you aint judging it on how it rides these days, so i challenge anyone to put up a pic of a NICER looking freestyle tool than this.

It baffles me that it didn't win a prize one of the best Freestyle builds out there ???

Post by: NORTY40 on September 03, 2012, 04:06 PM
Maybe it didn't win coz you have no mates Darren   :LolLolLolLol:  you'll just have to be content with one of the medals ....... oh wait a minute ...... it didn't even get one of them !  :D  ::)

Joking aside , it's another cracker  :4_17_5:

Like Gaz has said the feedback at MK and the appreciation from fellow RADsters on taking your collection down far outweighs any trophy imo  ;)

Roll on MK13   :D

These bars were made in 84 & 85 so they are era correct. People should know, this F/F & bars were bought as a set from twelevemonkeys, who is the main man to go to for anything Vector. Powder was done by Chip at C4.
Awesome build. But you are a c*nt Darren :LolLolLolLol:

You need to work on your BJ technique if you want to win anything on here.  Ask Costa, the Jimmy White of the BMX world.  Built loads of lovely bikes but won fook all but he's not bitter.   :10_2_12:

 :LolLolLolLol:  costa's builds were/are gorgeous as i've seen them in the flesh.....but sadly they are both painted and freestyle bikes......if they go up agains a blingy chrome race bike like a JMC or a burnish finished Ripper then it's game over  ::)

Love the build, not a Vector expert me self, but they made various version's off this I believe, with all sorts of added platforms ???

This verion seems to get the balance spot on. Where did you get the vector bars decals from?
