Not really a big fan of coloured tyres tbh Glen but most of the Pro Class's i have seen always go down the Black and chrome route and i just wanted to do something different and with a real 80's look .

Great job Joff. Proper old school looking with the blue tyres 👍

-
Lovely bike Joff, you kept that one quiet !
To be honest John the frame only came back into my possession a few weeks back after an absence of 3 years or so . I let a mate have the frame on the understanding he gave me first option on it when he was getting shut :)
-
Cheers again RADsters , I appreciate all the comments :4_17_5: :radbmxsmilie: :4_17_5:
Really looking forward to giving this a blast around the streets of the capital on the 6th 8)

Nice work Joff :daumenhoch:
Only another dozen or so to go :D

i ve heard you only get flamed if you put twin pinch on a TA >:(
looking good . lots of nice bits .

Beauty :daumenhoch:

i ve heard you only get flamed if you put twin pinch on a TA >:(
Not sure about that mate but i built this as a rider and im more than happy to stick the twin pinchers on it , not really bothered what people say . They do the job , still have an old school look to them and they look good imo . If i was planning on entering a show and shine competition then yes they would have to go , along with the re pop grips and tyres ...... but im not . Bearing in mind this will probably get on 10 or so rides a year and a few trips up to Coppull track etc i wanted something with sealed bearings and a bit of reliability ;)
If i get the chance to grab some PC cranks at some point i'll consider swapping them over but tbh there's no other cranks i would want to put on it :daumenhoch:

:LolLolLolLol: Quality :daumenhoch:

I still remember the sound of Adam's Hutch pedal and redline crank arm hitting Oxford street as the single bolt had decided to come undone and release itself in the gutter somewhere
Nowt wrong with 2 bolts on a rider :daumenhoch:

There's been quite a few issues re old drivetrains on a few rides John , pedals , chains and headsets aswell :LolLolLolLol: .......... and that's not including Jono's builds !! :D
-
No kidding! If I take the Ripper out I need a 6mm Allen key to tighten up the crank arm every mile ::)
-
long allen keys :daumenhoch:

Lovely joff done well
-
that is beautiful joff,even the blue tyres
-
Yeah, I'm not usually a fan of coloured tyres but those blue ones look great on here - a perfect match! :daumenhoch:
-
Cheers lads :4_17_5: Like i said earlier in the thread im not a big coloured tyres fan myself but there's no denying the fact they do scream 80's BMX . I was going to go down the Black and chrome route with this build as they look so classy . In the end i decided i wanted something that bit different with a real 80's look about it so opted for Blue and chrome with the Blue tyres .
Im made up with how it turned out and can't wait to start using it on the rides , starting this weekend in London and then Blackpool in a few weeks 8)
Thanks again RADsters :4_17_5:

You might have to leave it a little longer than that mate ::) :-[ :LolLolLolLol:
and Jonnygoose can't of built this as he would have put og pro class cranks on , original grips and probably known who welded the frame !! ;D
You need to come to Blackpool in a couple of weeks Gaz .... you will soon get the love back ;)
Thanks for the kind words on the Pro Class mate :4_17_5:
-
Fooookin hell - did you finally find your spanners then ? :shocked:
Surprised you knew how to put a build together it's been that long :LolLolLolLol:
Then again I can't talk can I :-[ :2funny:
Lovely build me old mucka and nice to see you finally succumb to a set of coloured tyres :coolsmiley:
Nice to see that old frame again and now dressed in it's sunday best ;)
:4_17_5:
-
:shocked: Fookin'ell the goose master is back :D You must have smelt it !!
I had a feeling the other day when i sent you the pics you might pop on .
You need to get back on here and back on the rides mate , London was awesome at the weekend .
The PC looks a little different from how you last saw it when my mate had it John , i should have grabbed it of you all those years ago when you offered it to me, but he was desperate for a frame so i let him have it on the condition if he ever was to sell i was to get firts dib dobs . It's here to stay now mate ;)

He's just logged out :LolLolLolLol:
:LolLolLolLol: I will get him back on John , has he ever seen project fatgoose ??
-
That could be the reason why he doesn't like a chat :LolLolLolLol:
The only way you'll get him back online is if he accidently leans on his computer keys :LolLolLolLol:
