hi all,
i just got my big daddy from the US, i have wheels for it and decals (thanks YGT)
i want to build up a parts list for my build and would like to know what your ultimate mid school parts list would be i.e. cranks, bars, tyres etc, even frame colours as it needs paint

I always liked Big Daddies in that dark green colour... It would be nice to see one done as a Kevin Jones replica :daumenhoch:
-
yeah i like the black one dave (was gonna buy it myself :'()
and i've tried to find pics of a green one but no luck, so if anyone has any scans of kevin on his, would be appreciated :)
-
No scans I'm afraid, but if you go searching for Dorkin' videos from the mid school, particularly Wheelies, you'll see the bike on those :)
-
the one i got has kevin jones decals.....you never know rar ..you may have a chance again ..lol
-
is kevin jones the rider with the peregrine Q bars ?
-
Kevin Jones is a bit dorky looking, longish hair, old. :) I recall there was often a red seat on his bike, one peice crank and plastic pedals. I think... I'll find summat on youtube for you, hang on...
-
Dammit, can't find owt..... someone will be along to help you out soon enough :)
-
Here is a pic of Jones on a big daddy.

I painted this yesterday. It's just a rider.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/h230/bigal91z/DSCN0980.jpg)
I like the green and the black looks good too. You can't go wrong with q bars or kneesavers. A lot of them ran 1 piece cranks, or 3 piece GT/ profile or GT power series. ACS RL edge tires were/are the best in my opinion.
-
Thats bloody typical ;D ;D ;D
Picture of Kevin, no red seat, no one piece and no placcy pedals..... dammit!! ;D
-
Ha Ha. You're right though. In Wheelies he did have Grafight pedals and a red Kashimax seat, but I don't have a pic.
-
always the way :LolLolLolLol:
thanks for posting the pic ;)
your green is looking sweet as al,
hoffman vids are a bit illusive on the net :(
-
If you can get hold of a copy of Joe Kid, there's plenty of KJ on that :)
-
Flatlandfuel.com has the complete Dorkin DVD set. It's the best riding from 88 to 2000 if you haven't seen them yet.
-
cool i'll have a look into that dorkin set and i've had bits from flatlandfuel in the past ;)
-
Just buy it straight from Mark eaton you will get a better deal.
Sweet Big Daddy's. I'm hunting one myself.
-
I've got a sticker scan if anyone needs it. Someone on VBMX got them from me a while back to get some made. He may have extras to sell. I'll look back and see who it was if anyone needs. Let me know.
-
Update! I finished it today. I'll be riding this weekend. One piece cranks and all.

-

-
i might have a spare one coming up for sale soon.
-

-

they are really cool rides, i find myself getting more into mid school as i missed those years
-
I really like the mid school stuff better. Although I rode a Kuwahara Bravo pro for a couple years in the late 80's. Not to big on the Haro's with the rear framestands.(what were they thinking)!!
-
yeah the rear framestands is the killer of haro in those years for me too, so pointless, although i rode bmx's from 81 my favourite was my gt world tour from 85-88
-
good to see it together :)
-
Thanks! It seems RAD has the most mid school activity of any site. I enjoy looking at the pics and reading about what was going on at the time when I had gotten away from bikes.

Harris, I really like that chrome (or nickel?) big daddy. Looks like the terminator. Here's a peek at another one i'm working on.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/h230/bigal91z/DSCN1010.jpg)

-
That looks awesome with the q bars and radial laced wheels! Did you repaint it or clean it? The white looks much brighter.
-
Bikes looking great! I'd like to find some nice Peregrine bars. they are rare.
-
yeah i'm well into Q bars :smitten:
cleaned it with cif (or jif as i know it) :LolLolLolLol:
-
So are you going to be riding this at Epic in few weeks mate? :daumenhoch:

Found this on EbayUK.
-
Wow! Would anyone pick that up and ship it to me (for a fee) if I were to win?
-
if its the jap version it might not be worth the shipping cost.
unless it stays rearly rearly low,plus he wants it collected i think
-
It looks like the OG frame to me, with the coaster tab below the chainstay, and that headtube decal. Looks like 2 cable guides on the downtube and the boxed gusset behind the bb. It's hard for me to see clearly though.
-
Looks like a POS to me! All the parts look crap, £800 to £1000 my arse!
-
i have asked for a good id on the frame from him but no reply
and as laz said the parts are low\end but could possily be us frame
that and forks would be only bits worth shipping
-
if i was fitter i would deffo ship for you
im kinda tied up with a recovery so at this
moment in time i cant rearly be of help
-
That's alright, thanks anyway. Yes, the parts are crap thats for sure. I'd really want better pics of that frame before bidding, just to be sure. But if it is what I think...i'll tell you i've been looking a long while for one.
-
have you asked him for the frame id
as if its the same as my se i would cry
and kick my own ass
-
I asked him a couple questions but that was just ten minutes ago.
-
could it not be a sugar baby frame set as the parts would ring more true as a lower end setup
-
It could be? But I haven't seen a sugar baby with dropouts like that. Strange it says collect only but also 30 to post?
-
if you get a good reply from him and if he can send to me i will get it over to you.
i can hobble quite well now.but be sure o so sure first :daumenhoch:
-
Thank you Dan. :)
-
i saw this at the start and had a word with him,
it was collection only to start with so i suggested that 30 quid would cover postage and he could get a box from a bike shop for free
-
excuse me for being a bit thick but what does the OG mean?
-
Original gangsta. As in 1st edition or model.
-

ok the reason i asked is ive won some hoffman forks of ebay and he said they OG forks with 14mm drop-outs
so now im confused :uglystupid2: :idiot2:
-
Well Looks like I won't be getting a Big Daddy right now. Guy changed his mind on the price. So I'm glad I found the shorty. Can't wait to build it up.
