Title: Show us your first build..
Post by: Pooch on May 25, 2015, 09:14 PM: Get your first build up.. The one that got you back into it.. 👍
Just wished I put a one piece crank on it.. Rather than redline twin.. Loved it though. 😍

Mine^ more of a resto of my childhood bike, than a complete build. It's wheel-less and crank-less at the moment 😢

Fook off was it!!! :D :LolLolLolLol:

It was, it had black z rims and a black seat post. But I don't have a picture to hand. Might be one on my pc at work.

I dabbled with Skyway Streetbeat but never finished it. Also had a yellow 87 Performer at the same time, but no pics of that.
