Title: My last build......ever! 1984GT Performer Fiola Rep
Post by: munners on May 22, 2008, 10:14 AM
Like i said a few weeks back, i was working on my final build. It was a bike that i always wanted as a kid and probably my favorite build,as sourcing the parts was hard.

I have basically ripped off Jazzchimps bike but i had to!!!! >:D >:D ;) It is a Fiola rep the same as he rode in KOS in 84.

I am waiting on a few bits and bobs from the states which apparently were the correct parts he had. I wont tell you what they are until they arrive! :LolLolLolLol: When they do i will get some more pics up of it finally finished.

Hope you like. A big thanks to Pete Quad for the input, Jazzchimp and JAY. Also to COZ and SBD!!!. ;)

ALL NOS apart from the f+f and tuffs.

Bring the bars back an inch or two, looks like your trying to suck yourself off when they're that far forward....dirty boy >:D

Were there black pads on it at some other point? Maybe when it was in the UK I'm thinking of. Aerospeeds too at that time?

Post by: munners on May 22, 2008, 03:47 PM
Cant confirm dates and where he used these parts but he 100% did use Aerospeeds and a black padset. ;)

Apparently Fiola also used to take 2 identical bikes to every competition!? ??? :-\

Not sure if every factory rider would have?

Lookin' good there  ;)

What are yer gonna do with the NOS loopy ripper then ? ( if no more builds ) .

Are the pads NRS not NOS ?  :LolLolLolLol:
Title: Re: My last build......ever! 1984GT Performer Fiola Rep
Post by: munners on May 22, 2008, 08:37 PM
The NOS frames are just hung up never to be built!  :buck2:

The pads are repros but ive bought a set in the US that are NOS ....and at silly money.  :idiot2: I regret buying them really. People say the repro's are just as good but you try and find yellow pipe lagging!  ;D That was the most expensive part of the build. I couldnt show it on here without a padset so thats why its got them on.  ;)

Thought the Loopy might be "art" , what's silly money for pads ? ( spent some bucks on some padsets too !  ::) ) .
