Don't get too excited though ................. it's another cheapy , 1984 Grand Prix :LolLolLolLol:
Bit like bus's my builds at the moment, no builds for 6 months then two come at once :D
This was completed the night before MK and i have been waiting for a break in the weather to get some pics taken ::)
The frame and bars were actually FREEBIES donated to me by fellow RADster MATSKYBEAT , he did charge me for the padset though :shocked: ;D
To keep the build cost's down I actually rattle canned the frame, forks and bars :LolLolLolLol:
Big THANKS to the following RAD members:
MATSKYBEAT , what can you say about someone who gives you a frame , bars and numerous other BMX goodies ...... Top man :4_17_5: Thanks Matt :daumenhoch:
BOBAFETT , Self proclaimed 'MR MONGOOSE' and all round top lad :daumenhoch: Thanks for the help John ;)
JTSmooth , Hubs ,spokes and various other bits and pieces, good guy and not a bad bike rider either ;) Cheers John :daumenhoch:

:LolLolLolLol: Not 'THE SILVER VAN' of death, the one that Neil entered and was never quite the same when he emerged :-\ :D When i rolled up at MK I did think that van was running a bit rich , the fumes comming out of it where quite intense :D ;D
nice! looks like you have a conveyor belt of projects on the go! Where do you get all these wheels? Especially for a budget build? Did you paint the rims?
Yeah Das the wheels have been 'Rattled' as well ;D I pick up stuff on RAD and the bay . These were pretty rough when i got hold of them for £18 ;) Bit of time , new spokes and new hubs and they look like new now :LolLolLolLol:
Joff i seriously want this one

Not for sale .................. unless the price is right ;) Seriously though Darren I can't part with any up to now :-[ :smitten:

Ahem ::) I believe that should read..........
"A very kind RAD member lent me a pair of nice new mongoose grips so my build could be complete for MK and then told me I could keep hold of them and just to replace them when I got round to buying a set but i was too tight to take him up on the offer"
