Title: Almost ready to get em out of hibernation
Post by: benno on March 19, 2017, 07:04 AM

I've just realised I haven't seen my bikes since the 30th of August 😱
For me , MK seems to be the end of the BMX season , not intentionally but just seems to happen that way .
I'm not a fan of winter at all ,the dark nights and short days suck .
But Spring is in the air ,nights are drawing out and it's getting warmer .
The ride outs will soon start kicking in and BMX will be back .
I've got 3 bikes to build 2 Craig Campbell's and a Badlander so hopefully the spring and summer will see my mojo return .
Anybody else ready to wake from there slumber ? 👍🏼

A very lovely collection mate!   :smitten:

I'm not a fan of the winter time either. My bike needs a good cleaning again and probably a little touch up paint here and there. Initially I wanted to do all this during the winter, but I didn't.
Pictures and thread will follow soon.

Any decisions made yet on the finish(es) of the f&f's ?

The CC's were both chrome originally , but in very bad nick !
So they've been stripped and are getting repaired and probably painted rather than a re chrome ,
I'm not a massive chrome fan to be honest
Look forward to seeing yours Andy 👍🏼

I think too that a nice colour would suit these kind of frames much better than chrome.  :daumenhoch:

Same for me Mike......


Although MK is all booked, in the Winter months I struggle, due to the rugby......however I was up in the loft last night having a tidy, and started planning my next build
