Title: First NOS build
Post by: djgivvinup on February 18, 2008, 07:42 PM

I've been meaning to do this for a week or so now, heres a few pics of my first NOS build, every other build i've done has had at least one or two survivor parts but this ones a minter.  :4_17_5:
Im gonna stick it in the museum when i can get some decent pics outside..

I've got a few thank you's to the people who helped with this build in one way or another:

SuperbikeDan for the awesome paintwork....
Del for the custom seat decals....i did mean to pm you when they turned up ::)
Electro808 for sorting out the Tuf Neck i bodged....
Phil100uk for the decal set....

And to my pregnant missus for putting up with the bmx bits everywhere   :D
& anybody else i've forgotten....thank you

Cheers for the comments guys  :daumenhoch:

Its turned out much better than i hoped, i would have killed to have had this bike bitd.. :knuppel2:

As for the orange blocks on those white rims, i won't be running them if it ever gets ridden... ::)
The white izumu zebra chain will have to stay elusive for now, i've got a silver izumu for the meantime..

& finally the next build is gonna be a very slow one.. what with sprog on the way & all that  :D
Doesn't stop me from window shopping though eh  :LolLolLolLol:

Nice work, Chris :daumenhoch:  Where did you get the chrome hardware for you Tuf neck?  I usually keep them the standard black but I think they look cool in chrome 8) 

Your Streetbeat reminds of a lovely GT I put together in the Autumn.  I was running out space for all things old school and had to sell something :(  As this bike was my most recent build and I wasn't that attached to it, I stuck it on the Bay.  I kinda' wish I'd kept it and got rid of something else :uglystupid2:  I've bought even more old school stuff to clutter up the place since ::)
