Very nice bud.  :daumenhoch:

Bars look a little too modern/freestyle for my taste, personally i'd stick some V bars on it and maybe some rat traps  :)

There is no such thing as a wrong build - if you enjoyed it and like it that really is all that counts but you did invite comments  :D

I have v bars on my MXII because I love the bars on early BMX.  If you need any, I can help you out but thats NOT why I suggest them.  ;D

Nice that Graham  :daumenhoch:  You have your own BMX production line at the moment  :D

Agree with Chris on the V bars and his comment on '' if you like it and enjoyed building it that's all that counts'' . It's your bike mate .... build it how you want it  ;)  My 79 MXII will be getting V bars but im drawing the line at the rat traps because i hate them !!

Now get onto the next one , i expect to see it by weekend  :D

Doesn't have to be rat traps but something more in keeping with its era so maybe Lightnings, MP1000 or BM-7s if you're not wanting to blow too much cash  :daumenhoch:
