Mark ,
looks cool

Kappa's rule don't they. I love them. I'm trying to get the ball rolling on a JMC themed retro frame at the moment. Pop over to the other site and give your support. It was either that or buy the JMC DY on the bay at the moment, but to be honest I'd be scared shitless that it'd snap if I raced it.
-
that is simply stunning
looks perfect :santa_afro:

a baby blue ripper is a thing of beauty mate, brings a tear to an old man's eye, excellent job

Mark, outstanding work mate. It's a Kappa Christmas ! :santa_cool:

Simon, I guess you do know that the Azusa is just that.
-
I know but try buying one and it's a brick wall. There's more chance of Kappa doing a run of them than finding an Azusa for sale.
-
Sorry to Hijack Mark.
Si, They come & go. I saw 2 on ebay in the last 6 months. You just need to look in the US ebay, 'cos not many will be put up for sale as Worldwide.
-
Nice 1, i hope thats an actual race bike and not a showbike.
-
Lovely build that fella. Baby blue rippers rule!
-
sweet bike jus gt my bike painted baby blue
-
Lovely bike Dingo, really nice :)
Wee question, is the Kappa frame alloy too, or just the same design but built from 4130 or somesuch ?
-
Many many thanks for the kind words guys,
Thomas the bike is 4130 so nice and strong ;)
Kev its gonna be raced this year and I also have a GT cruiser I am building to race too, the inter regional races sound waaay too cool to miss
:) DINGO :)

If the one at Milton Keynes last year was anythinhg to go by Inter Regionals are the true grass roots nationals!!
Lets get those clip things baned at the events, hold them at some different venues to the normal national series and we are on for a winner. If enough old schoolers turn up you know there are going to be classes for that as well. Just pure grass roots BMX.

Aaaa see now that's the kind of thing that interests me. Lovely OS looks but with more strength.
Regarding Kappa (and maybe also Supercross & Brew), is there anywhere in the UK that deals in these frames, or do you have to order from USA?
Oh, out of interest and taking nothing away from your Kappa, does anyone in the UK build new OS style frames??

Curtis will build you what ever you want... at a price. I'm sure they would slap a loop tail on one for thir race frames if you asked with the correct £££

-
Chubs, I am amazed how much it resembles the old ones :smitten:
