Nice. I want one of these...!
Any thoughts on how you'll be building it?

:shocked: :daumenhoch:

I have most of the parts already, it's Been really Interesting looking for parts for this , all the parts are from the 70s , a lot of old road bike stuff. I just need a set of bars and some pedals and then it time to build. :daumenhoch:

70's builds are so much more fun to do than any other era, simply as you have more work to do finding parts and then getting them to work on a BMX.
Glad you have that frame as I wouldn't trust Ash to build it correctly, he ain't go a clue unless it has SE Racing on a frame somewhere. :LolLolLolLol:
-
Love these frames :smitten:
Can't wait to see this built up 8)

Oooooooh nice! :daumenhoch:

The wheels have just this min turned up, very pleased with them as we'll. I find u don't have to spend silly money on parts as well , Which is a Bonus :daumenhoch:
-

:wtf: are you laughing at this for ? :knuppel2: :knuppel2: :2funny:
Clearly Sean does'nt know the link to these frames and SE :-X ;D ;D ;D (but he's kinda right and I'll prove it on my next non SE build :crazy2:)
These are super cool frames and i'm glad I got it over here rather than those pesky yanks keeping it :daumenhoch:, will be a cracker for sure Denzil but I'm not 100% on the seat..
Ohh and to prove Sean's right about me not being able to build non SE bikes :D

:shocked: great score Denzil .. im liking these old old school bikes more and more , cant wait to see this done :daumenhoch:
-
I don't have a Clue is when the seat was made, but I really like the look of them on the 70s stuff but if it looks shite i will just fook it off :LolLolLolLol:. Yep I'm going to keep it rider Condition but think I might have to get the frame re Anodised. Just can't wait to get it built :daumenhoch:
-
Wasn't knockin' the seat bud, I like 'em, I'm just sure the decals were different on the early ones. They were about in the late 70's & I think the only change was extra bracing on the underside but that would be hidden anyway!! :daumenhoch:
I'm gonna do some research...................... :LolLolLolLol:
-
let me know if you find owt about the seat mate :daumenhoch:
-
Fook me I'll get the sack!!!! :LolLolLolLol:
Here ya go bud, scroll down for the 70's ad'. :daumenhoch:
