Title: Mid School Winter projects?
Post by: midschooljon on December 14, 2014, 10:33 PM
Anyone chipping away at some mid school projects this winter? I have got my Condor on the go (so close yet so far), have been restoring a 2000 Pro Series mini for my kids Xmas present, and am also changing up a bunch of stuff on a few of my other bikes. Havent got too many pics at the moment but here are a few from instagram.

Are any of you guys busy with any builds? Lets see some pics...

Not really got any pics at the moment as just collecting parts. But my on going project is my 2001 FBM Night Train.
Might do a Hutch build type pic and lay all the parts out that I have :)

An 88 Elf Expert for my lad... be after xmas before i get around to finishing it. 
It'll probably sit in the old school section though and resemble something like this.  :daumenhoch:

And an unexpected arrival will soon be winging it's way across the pond.  :daumenhoch:
Here's a little taster... any ideas ?  :-X

I've got a cruiser making it's way up North this week hopefully. It will be a playbike for my lad so definitely a pure rider rather than an era-correct show bike. I might have to put shorter cranks and smaller bars on it for him. Pics when I get it.

I had an NG dirt bike when they came out, they were really heavy.
I thought it was weird that they'd put a cool little shield stamp thingy on the end of the bb wishbone tube that would be completely obscured when you put the wheel in.  :idiot2:

Been tinkering on the Big Daddy this weekend. Removing everything post 94 so that its properly era correct and free of any repop stuff. Just need some Peregrine pedals and its done.
