Post by: gary4130 on October 21, 2018, 09:08 AM: paired the frame up with a pair of 1inch threadless forks (thanks Jai se-bmxer :daumenhoch:)I know that it won't be 100% correct but it will be ridden ,plus I just prefer the threadless system

lace up the peregrine hubs with araya rims ,not been able to identify the rims on Jamie's bike think the would have either these or peregrine.
added haro multisurface 2 tyres and haro pegs

few issues building :
the top blue gyro cable was too short,so had to use a long g3 cable until I can find a better fit.
the rear BOA -which is a 6mm one went south on me when fitting and all the bearings went all over the garage floor :2gunsfiring_v1: :tickedoff:
