Post by: Frosty on October 13, 2005, 05:04 PM: I'm still waiting on the return of my laserbars from the chromers and an outside chance on some IRC tyres to complete my KZ83.

The Redline Carerra II is getting there need a final decal (once I can justify the expense of buying it), plus the black Ukai's that should be on their way soon, then just need pads and a couple of other bits before being built.

The MRD mini, for my lad, need all sorts for this, but have some wheels (not decided if I'm going to use yet), got a couple of pairs of tyres, stem, cranks, bb all other stuff required.

Plus at least one other in the pipe line.

theruler, not that it makes much difference but i thought they were trimoly? :D

if tri moly is high tensile steel then yes it is.
i think the down tube may be chromo though.

i like the geometry of the frame. plus i have a soft spot for it, as it was that bike that got me back into bmx in 1996 when i bought it from a car parts shop.
