Title: Re: nos robinson pro build
Post by: Sanmarcopizza on February 23, 2006, 08:45 PM: They are actually matt silver with a black flame design. Cool for a mid school build.
Title: Re: nos robinson pro build
Post by: Zippy on February 23, 2006, 08:45 PM: Those are Odyssey T1000 rims I was telling you about. My advice would be to get the rims from somewhere like ebay here's a link to the guy I've had my sets from. You could ask him if he's got any in plain alloy colour.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMX-early-90-s-Odyssey-T1000-BMX-36-hole-rims-NOS-Black_W0QQitemZ7221218742QQcategoryZ22677QQcmdZViewItem

I had a set of these rims laced to a set of TNT derringer hubs which spin so smoothly it's incredible. You could have a really strong good running wheelset for just under £100, and they'll be brand spankers as well. As I've said I've got two sets of these rims laced to the TNT hubs and I'm so impressed.

The TNT is sold by Mark that owned and manufactered TNT back in the day. Good bloke as well.

Post by: Bren Gunn on February 23, 2006, 09:33 PM: San, what does the stamp say in your rear dropout? Pro, L, XL ect?
Title: Re: nos robinson pro build
Post by: Zippy on February 23, 2006, 09:46 PM: San's is XL. All the Amtrac models were XL sized frames if I remember corectly. Not many of those about either.
Title: Re: nos robinson pro build
Post by: Bren Gunn on February 23, 2006, 09:57 PM: Are you sure? I have an XL and it only has a 20.5 top tube, I thought the Amtrac was 21".

(http://)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/y80/hondadominator/DSCF0279.jpg)

It's not got different wheels on it and the bars have been changed as has the seatpost, but apart from that it's still the same.

Post by: wolfybmx on February 24, 2006, 08:48 AM: YES THE OLD BIKES ARE VERY TWITCHY. TRY RIDING A OLD SCHOOL IN A RACE MEET AS WELL AS A NEW SCHOOL BIKE. TAKES SOME DOING I CAN TELL TOTALLY DIFFERANT RIDING STYLES.
Title: Re: nos robinson pro build
Post by: Sanmarcopizza on February 27, 2006, 01:41 PM: The Amtrac is 21" top tube, with an almost equally long back end LOL. Sure it's about 17.5" or something daft. It rides and jumps really well and is stable and neutral on the track, but don't ask it what a manual is.
Title: Re: nos robinson pro build
Post by: Bren Gunn on February 27, 2006, 07:52 PM: San does it have XXL stamped in the rear dropout?

Title: Re: nos robinson pro build
Post by: Zippy on February 27, 2006, 11:17 PM: I'm looking forward to seeing all these built up real soon. I'm going to take some time to clean mine this week and I'll take a picture of it as soon as I can as it's set up a little different to how it looks in the picture above. I've tried to lower it slightly by ditching the GT pro bars and putting on some Crupi ProAl's and the different wheels, not to mention a straight post. It's a good little race bike now.

Post by: Zippy on May 29, 2006, 03:53 PM: Come on then Gezza, let's see it. It must be finished by now.
