Wow, with that parts list, that's gunna be some build :shocked: 8)
You might struggle with a couple of them but I wish you all the best with it mate.

I know the Bonzai Pro was a quality Tange made frame with an Aero down-tube.
I think the x2 Greg Hill CP's were pretty decent bikes as well.
If you haven't been here already, this will be worth looking at: http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/cycle_pro/

That's about all I have. All the best with it :daumenhoch:

My first was a CyclePro in about '83ish from Geoff Barraclough's WheelWays shop. Must have been the base model, chrome & blue trim, Skyways, cobra grips and weighed a ton!!! Loved it.......

Good luck!!!  :daumenhoch:

Tech2's came on a few 1982 bikes so the year sounds about right  :)

Good luck with the cycle-pro snake bellies though  :10_2_12:

There is a single cycle-pro snakebelly tyre on it's own in blue on the museum at the moment for $250 and that doesn't include international shipping  :laugh:

Would be a nice looking build if you find all the parts though - good luck  :daumenhoch:

PS - see Del for decals  ;)
