The bits i sold you were'nt so shiney.

I see the seat height means you still have the legs of an umpalumpa! BABUM - just like old times my old friend!

It is really nice though. Good work.

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.

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.

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 £££
