So I've built a couple minters in my time ... a few nice survivors ... now its high time for a good rat build.
I scooped this Piston Bully off ebay and knew straight away that it had to stay as it arrived ... the rust patches, the worn decals, the odd forks and the welded on then cut off again gusset 8) this frame has been ridden and loved ... and its got SOUL.

Originally I was going to use all the parts off that Shredder I'm selling but I soon really got into the idea of collecting some really tatty parts ... nice parts, but ones that would never make a build ... and try and get it looking as much like it was pulled out of a shed or back garden just yesterday as possible.
I've had loads of offers of parts ... some nice bits I've got so far include ...
A rare as fook Bully chain ring

I'm also using a lovely dirty Peregrine Master wheel I got from Pickle years ago for the front, got some nice mashed Bully style bars from a guy on Facebook, a Tech lever from Munny ... other stuff I can't remember.
The frame is a bit of a weird one as its got 3 different frame decals on ??? but its lovely just the same.
Ratty clamps!

No worries Ed... I'll hold onto em for now mate. :daumenhoch:

I have two pairs of nudie bars that are in excellent condition which are way too nice for your build , I could really fook a pair up if you like and give em a dip in the sea to make them rusty

I think it looks good actually :daumenhoch: it was more a reference to the Condor styley seat tube angle!

Not liking that OGK on the front, especially as it's the wrong way round (which I know you've done on purpose) >:(

Are you still here ;D ;D ;D
Its not an OGK ... its a Peregrine Master and you gave me it!
It's a classic 'of the time' thing where riders had come off riding mags at the end of the 80s, snapped a rear wheel and got a spoked on on then kept the front. Check out a Dirt Bros bikes for example..
Work with me ... the vision will come together >:D 8)

Yes I know what it's all about, just don't like it ;D
Still kicking the dust about now and then ;)
