Title: FBM Angel of Death
Post by: Gary72 on September 07, 2015, 05:56 PM: Picked up a FBM A.O.D at the weekend. Guy said he bought it new in 1998. Came with Kick Ass forks with lugs
Got alot of parts already to build this, Will not be light weight :shocked:

Is an FBM sprocket going on?

Post by: Gary72 on October 06, 2015, 06:20 PM: Need to find a black 44t FBM sprocket or a Profile Black Jack sprocket.

Liking the green :daumenhoch:
Did that use to have tufts?
Saw one in the museum with tuffs or just a front tuff.
I like to try a grey front tuff just to see what it looks like.
Title: Re: FBM Angel of Death
Post by: oberonspacefruit on November 05, 2015, 09:22 PM: yes, it was my first sensible rider build. i couldnt rip myself from tuffs, as im essentially oldschool. but after storming up the quarter pipe at bones, and seeing a vid of the tuffs flexing at my 12 stone, i tried some a few different combos. setteld with alex supra e pro's, on son of a bomb hubs. good chrome stopping power with the evolvers.

Post by: Gary72 on November 06, 2015, 07:02 PM: You still got it?
I bought some green Walls the other week, Got nothing for them to go on, but they were cheap.
Title: Re: FBM Angel of Death
Post by: oberonspacefruit on November 06, 2015, 07:06 PM: no, i thought it was too heavy, after riding oldschool for ages. sold it to fund a beefed up version of a rickman freestyler with 1 1/8 forks, fbm ste, welded on 990 mounts so it would weigh old school but rin like new school. I didnt work, by the time id got the cranks, slam bars and a surprisingly heavy acs freecoaster installed it was about the same weight as the fbm...... ::)

Title: Re: FBM Angel of Death
Post by: Gary72 on November 28, 2015, 03:58 PM: Done some swapping around today, Swapped the stem with the one on my Night Train and fitted some Old 76 bars. From info from dannywhac the stem without the skulls is an older version. At least the FBM font on the Night Train stem and seat clamp match now. :buck2:
Not sure about running the Bottleneck with the skulls and bottles flipped :-\
