Title: Curtis Expert
Post by: RichG41 on May 26, 2013, 06:56 PM

Hi

I've been slowly putting this together for my sons next bike, he's almost outgrown his mini burner. It was always going to be built with survivor parts for obvious reasons, he'll trash it (no problem with that as that's what we all did as kids) but also I prefer them. Since getting back into this great hobby 3 years ago I initially thought about getting all pristine bikes which I've nothing against, some of the bikes I see on here are amazing it's just personally I want to just go out and ride them without worrying they'll get damaged.

Apologies for the GT frame pad, he was so desperate for a first ride it was all I could find to keep the brake cable out the way! I've also got to put a blue dominator seat plus, blue mx seat clamp and mx900/1000 brakes.

He's only six but helped fit the crank :daumenhoch:

I'll post some photos once its completely done

A quick thanks to

Custardlips - frame forks
Sawzall - frame repair (superb job as usual  :4_17_5:)
Norty forty - various bits not all of which went on this build
Spen69 - tuffs

Looks good Rich. Your boy look's happy as larry with it. :daumenhoch:
could have kept it for my 9 yr old lad but he can't be trusted with anything of value, he wrecks everything he gets his hands on.  >:D
Got this f&f, stem, seat post & clamp off ebay for £15 and put the rest of the bits off his reebok/xmas bike and some of the old tat off my powerlite on it.

It's nice ride for a pos and he can do what he likes to it without me giving him and hard time about looking after his stuff (not that he listen's to me anyway).  :LolLolLolLol:
