Don't know about grinding them out for a 14mm axle it looks like you could have got a bloody car axle in there

Nice colour too

Life breathed back into something passed over by 4 peeps. A project like that could have easily ended up in the bmx graveyard.
So glad to see Dr Frankenstien threads like this. Looking forward to seeing the final post........When the bikes complete and IT'S ALIVE

Top job Mark, lovely colour.

Time and effort well spent there Mark. The attention to detail, filing out the fork drops for a top hat, is amazing and looks the dogs

As been said, many would have just scrapped it and a credit to the four owners for actually passing it on and not doing that.

The colour though, WOW........Awesome

class job Mark, well done
