That's a really nice Streetbeat, are you pleased with it?
-
very nice machine you got there :santa_cool:.
-
Yes, well chuffed. Might change a few bits, get a green seat maybe, and wouldn't mind a chain with green links. I would prefer green or red tuffs, but can't get any at the right price.
Went out for a ride on it around derby, got no end of grief from the chav's! But that's only to be expected. It's a very long time since I have ridden a bmx, but I reckon I could easily get used to riding this. It handles superbly, and is very light compared with my mates modern tanks. I felt right at home on it straight away. Modern bmx's always feel to small for me.
-
they are a nice ride.feel long for an old school.mind i only rid mine once lol.
and fell off.
-
looking good!!!
very bright!
white tuffs would suit it better. and black tyres ;)
-
Username: boogaloo-tramp you got mail :santa_afro: :santa_wink: (keep it under your santa hat !!)
-
I like,
but, red tuffs and green seat would make it propper rad.
-
and loose the frame pad :santa_afro:
looks cool tho'
was this a raw frame or one of the many greenies around?
-
red tuffs would finish it off :santa_afro:
-
Hi
Very Nice Build.
I'm loving the levers with the Sharp covers.
Only things i'd change would be Red Tuffs a must.
Then possibly when time allows and you could find them, a red crank and red head set, chain and Sharp BB Boot.
She is looking sweet though, and makes me even think about getting one now.... ;)
-
red would look good. but the prices at the minute are daft :santa_sad:.
-
looks good matey agree with the red tuffs. i may have a set for sale soon if you
want them
-
I wanted red tuffs for it, but I can't find any at a reasonable price. Basically, because I have been more or less made redundant, money is extremly tight at the moment, and I have had to use whatever parts I already had, like the black tuffs for example, and the seat post and clamp as well. I also think it would look better with a powerdisc (or whatever they are called) and chainwheel, rather than the tuf neck chainwheel.
My only regret with the whole bike is putting that crappy Hatta headset on, no mater how much I adjust it, it comes loose after 5 minutes riding. Rubbish. I wish I had put a beartrap one on it. Would one of those tange locknuts cure it? Are they any good?
I know it's not a very high spec bike, but there again it only stands me at around £240 all in. When funds allow I will change some bits for sure, but overall I'm pleased with the way it's turned out for the money. And it will be ridden a lot when the weather improves!
-
hey matey.
no need to explain thats a nice ride. it looks real good and considering it only cost you £240 you done well. :santa_afro:
-
and loose the frame pad :santa_afro:
looks cool tho'
was this a raw frame or one of the many greenies around?
It was one of the many greenies around, bought from your very own Moose!
-
£240
that was well cheap ;).
-
White Tuffs???? Ruler you got Ray Charles's eyes??
-
I've had similar problems with my Hatta HX100 headset. Stick a Tange headlock on it and that'll be the end of the problem. The Tange headlock actually replaces the locking nut of the headset and are very light and work well.
I have to say that that Street Beat looks pretty damn good to me though. I think the colour scheme works well, including the black Tuffs but would probably take the frame pad off. Good job. :santa_afro:
-

lol
who said that?
green and white goes well
-

-

the mk1 is nicer
also the mk1 has no brake lugs - meaning you have to weld some on - meaning they wont be in a stoopid place
-
i like that place. doesnt interfere with small gearing. good cable routing too. chrome is one of the main factors as well. cool decals too.
i just like it better.
-
how wont it interfere with small gearing?
i agree with you on the chrome though. that looks dope
-

i agree with you on the chrome though. that looks dope
the brakes tend to foul the chain when on top. maybe they would below, but for some reason i think not. dunno why. radhab has one like that , so he'd probably know.
-
logically they would foul just the same.
unless the chainstays are nearer the top of the bb than the bottom!!
would you straight swap your TA for a NOSAGE mk2 beatstreet?
-
that is a question i have been asking myself recently. lol.
-
well now we are both asking
i actually have a nos mk2 street beat
its the rare limited edition one, in green, without lugs
-
greame, i was really after a mk2 like retro's.
He sold his remember..........But i've still got mine!!!
