Post by: xGoose on December 13, 2009, 10:34 AM: Cheers for all the comments lads! :daumenhoch:

I started this project before Id found out there was such a big online OS BMX following, and if it werent for RAD in particular, with its inspiring resto threads, I wouldnt ve put in half the effort to restore this bike. So cheers to the resto boys for that ;) and god bless the tech n resto stickies! :daumenhoch:
