1982 Bassett Pro rider condition, with Tange TX1200 forks.
OG Tech dia compe brake set up, but with later Scott pads. GT Expert bars, with blue and white B2B grips. 1981 unstamped OPC, original Tange BB & headset. Blue Suntour PowerStem, Kashimax MX seat, silver DX pedals, rolling on the original silver 7X's with blue Suzue hubs, covered in blue comp2 tyres (fat and thin).

1986 Dyno Compe II

Resto thread here: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,193235.0.html

Give it a read :daumenhoch:

Basically the plan was to emulate the 1986 Dyno Compe II magazine bike but NOS white Shinkos became the sticking point so I then found a 1986 Dyno magazine ad for the same bike and the only change was the tyres.

Here's how it started:

1983 Akisu MX Cr-Mo

Got the initial build finished yesterday.

Spec as follows:

1983 Akisu MX Cr-Mo f&f in survivor chrome
NOS Hsin Lung CW style bars
NOS SM Mushroom Grips
NOS Profile stem
NOS Aero pad set
NOS Meng Jing layback post
NOS Aero saddle
NOS Sugino spider
NOS Sugino CT 3 piece crank
NOS SR Custom pedals
NOS Weinmann rims (shiney sided)
NOS high flange SR hubs
NOS Mirage number plate

Repro Dia-Compe lever

Will continue to look for sensibly priced parts to replace the repro stuff and need to shorten the brake cable!

I'm pleased with the way it has turned out and can now concentrate on the Falcon Pro Beta 24 build which I am actually intending to ride when finished.

A sentimental homage to the bike I received as a Christmas present in 1983 and the best present anyone has ever given me ;)
