Title: Its been a long time !!
Post by: michael on June 02, 2020, 06:38 PM: So after what seems a lifetime.. up and downs, general sh!t life throws at you I've come back to :radbmxsmilie:

Some may remember me and some wont but no bother, wanted to come and say hi again (7 years later :crybaby:)

I've dragged an old project back out of the loft and decided to finally use it what I think will be a lovely pub bike..the purists will rinse me but I think the paint job looks the dogs danglies..If anyone can remember flogging it to me way back when would be great to get a reminder so please say hello :4_17_5:

Be prepared for daft questions (again) and trying to buy any cheap or unwanted parts to get her back on the road fistblump

Thanks for reading...VIVA RADBMX

Thanks Spen for the welcome back, yeah it's a Zippo , racking my brain who I bought it off and they did the paint etc.

Definitely going to keep it mid school :slayer: going to be keeping my eyes out for some Fusion stuff (think that would work) or anything that suits... happy to listen to any advice / recommendations fistblump

Title: Re: Its been a long time !!
Post by: Spen69 on June 03, 2020, 08:39 AM: Yep, Fusion stuff was the era with Zippos for sure. My brother still has one out in Oz with him and it has an 8-ball power disc and 48-spoke Fusion wheels and a Fusion stem I'm sure 8)

Don't kill yourself trying to get it right straight away - why not scan through Gum tree for a local cheap ?50 donor bike for all the parts first then slowly replace bits when you find them as they do come up - that's what I'd do to start with and then you've got it for summer ???

Yeah thats a great idea, would love to get it back up and running as soon as possible...probably where I used to go wrong tbh...I used to be obsessed trying to find the perfect parts but just end up getting F'all :idiot2:

Thanks for the advice...the hunt begins :bow:

I've got a complete non-pure built up so no judgement.
