Title: challenging
Post by: newlovetattoos on February 23, 2015, 06:33 PM

so ive been tinkering with my baby this afternoon and im happy with how its panned out. still not sure about something but i cant work out what it is.. i think its the cranks and sprocket but they are staying on there until i can find a later oversized challenger frame to put them on instead and substitute for a gt profile setup or an earlier p.a set.
 
ive had the bike for around 6 years and the forks are twisted but i am finding it increasingly hard to live with so if anyone knows a good bloke to sort them out, let me know. i have thought about doing it myself but i dont have a vice big enough to work comfortably . cheers for looking anyway. and thanks to the radsters that have helped with parts for this build over the years and with my other builds!!!  :radbmxsmilie:

Cheers ste! At the moment im running gen3 prince alberts but id be happier with gen 1 or 2's for this bike. My long term plan is to build a 1/1.8 " challenger as a mike griffin replica and ill use these cranks on that.
