will do some outside shoots at weekend, just was dying to show all!!!!


 :) :) :) :)





Unorthodox but cool.  Not as cool as the one Moanjam's boyfriend painted, though. ;D

Lots of nice goodies up in that loft.  You'd have loads more room up there if you cut out out some of that unsightly timber framing ;D

Something diferent from the norm   8), good on you for having the balls to do it and in my opinion succeeding  :daumenhoch:

( STEALTHWAY  ???  ............ mmmmm  maybe not  :D ;D )

Like the bike , like the collection in the background and will probably like what came in those Blue shoe boxes ..................adidas trainers  :smitten:  a RADster with taste  ;)

Very very nice. I like something different, and that is cool as tits.

The jury is out for me on this one; maybe it's the decals  :-\.

Will pop back and have another look in the morning  :daumenhoch:.

looks cool but not keen on the bars, mk2 ez's, done black with the chrome crossbars would set it off much better, IMO 8)
Title: Re: and now for something completely differant......
Post by: Glynnyboy on September 16, 2009, 06:49 PM
I am looking at it and know i should like it more than i do. It's definately down to the pics. I look forward to seeing the outside ones to give it some justice because it is a lovely build :daumenhoch: :coolsmiley:

Nice one Sammy.  Looks ok pal but get it outside when the sun's out.   :4_17_5:
Title: Re: and now for something completely differant......
Post by: MartyC on September 17, 2009, 01:03 AM
I reckon chrome bars and red decals would work out a treat  :daumenhoch:

Love the chrome disc and charinring; how about a parts rundown  ;)

I like it, but I'm biased as those decals are lush!

you've re-arranged your loft Sam (or tidied it!)
Title: Re: and now for something completely differant......
Post by: meticulous on September 17, 2009, 12:23 PM
love the decals del...  torkertony has just seen it in the flesh and says it all looks mint, loft defo hasnt had a tidy since you last come...    more of a re-arrangement...    :)
Title: Re: and now for something completely differant......
Post by: Del on September 17, 2009, 12:29 PM
by the way, i 've done those decals you wanted, I was hoping to get those panels this weekend so might pop over if they turn up in time, if not I'll post them... or if you want them sharpish I'll post them right away... lmk

Post by: Spen69 on September 17, 2009, 12:43 PM
Sam, that looks fookin great mate - can't wait to see it outside :daumenhoch:

I was only talking the other month with Del about doing me a custom set of Haro "Stealthstyler" decals in dark grey to go on an all-black Sport, but I've buckled under the pressure and gone with diamond white and blue bits to tow the conformist's line :uglystupid2:

Build this once though - my Ammaco 202 in black :smitten:

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/aa149/Spen69/S4010857.jpg)

Go with what you want mate, that looks great :daumenhoch:

Cheers - Spen :daumenhoch:

ive been studying this build for some time, i think a black chain ring instead of the silver one, and chrome bars,this would balance it out nicely. :daumenhoch:

That's it solved then...  Chrome effect Tuffs like the ones used on one of my favourite builds from a Streetbeat build-off.  :daumenhoch:
