Man, that's awesome! Is that a repro plate?
I had a choice back in the day between a chrome, gold and black Torker or a white, red and black Kuwahara KZ1 with graphite z's. I picked the Kuwahara but always wondered if I'd made the right choice. I'm still not sure!
Lovely looking ride! :smitten:

I have been away for a while, have come back and as usual - your build truly amazes me.
The bike and quality is perfect as always, two comments though - any reason why you have you not put the 1$ on the plate, and did the rear cable go through the right hand side hole in the gusset and out of the left then under the pad?
Total quality again.........have you ever thought about setting up a museum to show off your unique collection of BMX history.
Lastly, great bike stand - is the square tubing padded so that it does not scratch the crank? Great design.
