Title: IF CARLSBERG DID BUILDS!!!!
Post by: dwain dibbly on July 02, 2013, 08:10 PM

so ive been working on these for a while now tweaking them until i was happy.  the 20" is nearly there.
i still have some changes to do on the 16"

my plan was to build an exact replica of fiola's iconic "flying banana" he rode on the 85 world tour, then half way through
the build i had the opportunity to get a 16" performer so i thought id build a matching pit bike  :D

 both bikes are as close to the original as i could get.

nice bikes   :4_17_5:

but eddies bike was an 84 not a 85 frame and he didnt ride that on the 85 tour,  you also need to get the tyres (yours are 87onwards) ,forks and rear frame stands for it  to be bang on, hope that helps :daumenhoch:  :coolsmiley:

done a few little tweaks on these to get them closer to the original.

I'm toying with the idea of swapping the OPC on the 20" for a profile box crank.
I've seen pics of him running one on the all yellow scheme.

I've still got a few changes planned for the 16"  :daumenhoch:

Yes mate, chrome set of 175s.  Taken out of the box and loosely fitted to a pony but it preferred a saddle.
