BMX could be perfect therapy during these times and also a good chance to get those projects finished!!
My one is a gold super burner (yes it's a burner so get over it!) Luckily I got it all sprayed and sorced bits before all this so just a case of finishing it off.
Stay safe radsters.

Do I build it as a chrome bike, keeping what colour is left to show it's a genuine HLT.
Do I get it's colour redone.. loosing what's left tho.
Do I go full on colour change. The white One and the candy red one look really good.

But that's just an opinion Danny and you should build it how you want to. With the parts you've got lined up it will look cracking either way

Nice frameset fella :daumenhoch: is that a recent purchase or one out of your stable?
Bought at MK a couple of years ago. I did my usual trick of sourcing all of the parts within a couple of months, and then leaving it all stashed in the box room! :idiot2:
Coronavirus Lockdown has helped me find the love, again. FFS I am even posting on RAD, and sending PMs to old mates (you know who you are). :daumenhoch:

Post by: burnerboy on May 25, 2020, 03:06 PM
Not much moved on it so a overnight soak in plus gas aided with that.
All parts stripped off so gonna give frame and bars a good long soak in citric acid bath. I recon it will come up ok. (Aided with elbow grease!)
I will go for the survivor build so all bits to go back on.
Big thanks to Benno for passing this onto me.
So much for no more projects!!!

The Chrome Burner in both Mk1 and Mk2 variations, are very underrated models, in my opinion.
Post by: Picklez on May 29, 2020, 03:34 PM
Just got these back from Dan. Will make a start on them this weekend.
They look ace Steve. The grey & blue colour combo was always one of my fave colour combos late BITD. Remember rattle canning my DP in it, but with a fade effect between the two colours, oh to be young and care free again.
Looking forward to seeing these built.
