Carl's just finished his beauty, Christophe's JMC was lush and Glynn's TA XL will be one sweet ride but what have you got in the pipeline ?

Really fancy doing an extra burner. Again, it's one of those bikes I quite liked BITD.
Would be nice to have one join the collection.
I know it's not a high end build but it's about the nostalgia. 😏

I loved these BITD, gazed at my mate Mike's for hours.

My best mate had one and I envied it immensely.
Again would like to get it for sentimental and nostalgic reasons.

C'mon Dan get on it mate ... There are parts aplenty around at the moment and many are going for resonable prices ... Once you start the love comes straight back ... Believe me fistblump
Post by: Retrodan72 on November 12, 2016, 10:40 AM
Would be nice that Dan....To do it justice it would cost a fair price though I imagine?
I'd defo avoid the factory spec route, I'd probably aim for a race look, spokes, single brake etc.

Might actually finish my Procraft at some point in the coming months and my 82 Jag Team Pro, still not found anyone in Western Australia that I would trust to tidy up a previous repair on my Patterson Pro Long frame :-[ Might give it to my mum to take back to the UK when she comes over at Xmas and get an old friend to do it and then have him post it back to me but I can't help thinking that is a bit excessive :-\.
Do it!! They're such great-looking frames, and definitely worth the effort in my books. I just missed out on one for sale on the Museum the other month - gutted! One day! In the meantime, I've got 3 framesets I'm slowly gathering parts for, the first of which is a Redline 500a. :daumenhoch:

Certain situations and bad deals have ground me down to an all time low.
So in a last ditch effort to relight the flame of interest i'm building my first BMX. It seemed only right I should go full circle and finish with what I started with.
I'm a few items away and still not feeling it :-\

84 Master that needs tweaking/redoing and an RL20 that I have all the bits for apart from wheels and not sure what to put on it. Whatever it has needs to be white (and preferably coaster) as I just think they suit them better. It's gonna be a rider so don't mind plastic hub Skyways as Peregrines/OGKs seem to be like rocking horse crap in the rarity dept :crazy2:
OGK's come up bro...An RL 20 needs OGK/Peregrine Masters imo to look right....The Masters are usually more expensive but they are the same wheel. Neither are REALLY rare, more Peregrines come up on bmxmuseum.com than here although I did score a pair of white OGK's on here a few yrs back
here's a pic of my old RL for inspiration.... :daumenhoch:

They come up for sale on the museum but the guys never want to ship to the UK for some reason. I was gonna do it like the first advert for it when it had skyways and MX 1000s on but I think I'm gonna do it how I would have built one back then. I remember seeing a complete in Super Cycle Discount in Nottingham when I went to fetch my Firebird Freestyler frame and I loved it then but I think it was over £200 and we couldn't afford it unfortunately
