Title: 1984 JMC Shadow
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on January 11, 2014, 12:31 PM

My last 'Old school' offering as a complete build. 1984 JMC Shadow.

I have fancied one of these for a long time and the chance came up middle part of last year. Collected the parts I wanted to put on it, keeping it real with survivor parts, the only NOS parts being the brake cable and Zeronine board.

Thanks for viewing  :)

Based upon this build you should not give up building OS BMXs.  :daumenhoch:

That looks lush Terry, my kinda build  :smitten:

Just the right amount of attitude and a good stance.
don't give up on the OS, it's in the blood  :coolsmiley:



Knowing you don't tend to keep things long....      First dibbbbs on the tyres and brake blocks  :LolLolLolLol:

Personally not keen on the layback and blue chainring,but otherwise ticks all the boxes  :4_17_5:

Thanks again guys, appreciate you words  :coolsmiley:

I love building Steve but dont sadly have the space for them all. I miss my GT Pro's as they rode superbly but wanted to move onto other builds, this being one of them. I didn't feel it at first for this but getting it out yesterday has changed my mind. It is as light as anything and feels really good on the turns. I need a good run on it though to be honest.
