Here is a survivor found incomplete in a old bike shop , it was hanged in the stock area since 1982 and was used for spare parts ... original paint and decals ! Euro version with original safety devices

Full orignial specs including IRC 80 x tires !!! ( only the grips aren't the good one, sorry ! )

The most difficult part to find was the front wheel because a black Ukai rim without shinny side but with speedlines is very rare , than I bought to Marty on BMX museum ( thanks again ) a black NOS one without speedlines and I 've done it my self ! Also the front tires was long to find !

Here is a pics when I found the bike ; some parts were disapear ...

One year after ...

E.T phone home !

The chance of finding something like that at the back of a shop I thought was just a dream.... the dream is still possible

Lovely job, anyone hazzard a guess tro how many mint survivors there are out there? In away I always find it sad that that bike was never used, never an excited kids christmas present, never hammered down the track, its amazing some survive for 25+ years like that.
