Well guys, this is not going to built to factory spec, far from it. It is chrome and was powdered over the top. Powder was removed and the f+f polished

It's not 100% percent but I not worry as I will be riding the shit out of it

I will be building it in the 3 old school anno colours of Red, Blue and Gold (and some polished parts too, all my spare junk and more

)

I have now fitted the old Tange headset from my Haro and Tange locking nut. Pics will be added as we go along so any input is cool

Cable runs through the potts mod, down the forks tube and out the left fork for a front freestyle caliper

Polished and Headset fitted

Is that a cable hanger on the front of the head tube? Looks like it could take a centre front brake

Cool , like the two tone versions on museum too

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #3 on:** July 15, 2011, 12:33 PM »

Yes Jaymz

Its the hanger for the rear brake. It comes through the stem into the ACS rotor then from the rotor through the hanger and down to the rear brake which is situated underneath the rear stays.

No brake bridge for a normal caliper

It's kind of like a racer really. Only outer cable from the hanger to the adjuster on the bottom tube then inner cable only to the rear DC 750 calipe at the back

is the head tube cracked? (first pic)

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #5 on:** July 15, 2011, 01:21 PM »

No bro its's like whoever was welding it had a run off and when it was chromed it just highlights it a bit more

Just looks like a glich in the chrome when you get up close

NOS gold anno Sugino 40T chainring, Sugino Spider and near mint Sugino bolt set plus twin bolt Redline 180's fitted

(Ignore the Skyway guys, got something special for this

)

Dia Compe 750 rear caliper (re-issue but hey, the only difference is the retaining nuts are allen key bolts, and the date) for under the frame fitment fitted

That is a super hot looking quirky (the way I like them) BMX. Really glad removing the paint revealed chrome - thats saved you a good £150!! Maybe more..

Keep the pictures coming..

Lovin this build, its coming on leaps already, just fantastic, keep it coming and dont take too long!!

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #11 on:** July 15, 2011, 09:54 PM »

I got these babies for it

Got to strip down, clean the rims, polish the sweet looking HF ACS gold anno hubs and relace with some S/Steel double butted HKS spokes

The gold nipples I have are a bit too much as I don't want it turning out just chrome/gold and yellow

Any other colours that you guys have sitting around and don't need, I would be happy to donate some monies for them

What you reckon ?? Blue ?? Red ?? I will let you decide

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #12 on:** July 15, 2011, 10:23 PM »

Original Elina UL chequered layback post and red Elina Flyte Tech fitted

Put the red Skyways on for now dudes as it looked pants with balck

and my B E A U T I F U L ACS 55 slant turned up today

And NOS gold ACS seatclamp replaced the MX gold clamp

Think i'm going to run it without a rotor though

Bars are down the postie's as the nooby from the states didn't post it like I asked so it has acrued a fookin' customs charge of £8

Jaymz · « **Reply #16 on:** July 21, 2011, 10:02 PM »

Looking great, and glad you said you were going to run without a rotor, as it detracts from that lush stem

glenboy · « **Reply #17 on:** July 21, 2011, 10:06 PM »

As soon as I have some spokes to re lace them with Bendy, sure thing

Getting hold of s/steel double butted 184mm spokes is like trying to get crisps and pop off Kappy $:-\$
