I'm seeing the new gold look for RADBMX as a 'sign' to post this up

The story so far... I try and get Classic BMX mag when I can and on the front is this alloy Nomura and its just about the sexiest thing with wheels I have ever seen.

I have no love for race bikes but the way this has been built is just beautiful... mega props to Matt Waldren for a sweet bike.

I'm on a budget for anything BMX, my chances are owning one are zero, I wouldn't even really want to ... but I'd been thinking about having a new look for my daughters Dyno NFX... and thats got a nice fat downtube just like the Nomura...

I show the young lady in question my plan and she things it looks great ( plus she gets props fromt he boys in her year for having a sick looking bike

)

So it had to be done... I had to build something that looked as much like Matt's Nomura with a budget of Â£150 ( my wife thought that was a bit over the top ... see what I have to deal with

)

... and so was born... the Dyno / Nomura ... or DYNOMURA

Issy's bike looked like this a year or so back but was tiring a bit ... so its time for the switch

Stripped it down, got the angle grinder on all the brake lugs and then is into the homemade spray tent for a coat of aluminum.

...more to follow

I HAD to start the build right... and the one thing that I couldn't skimp on was some Landing Gears... just wacking stickers on the old forks would have been wrong... it took Â£40 out of the budget but it was worth it...

I was a bit concerned about the flange on them but DiscoStu said they'd be fine with an FSA Pig headset ( which he then supplied for a tenner

)

...so off to Dan they went and back they came a nice Cherry Red

I knew I'd be getting parts from all over for this so heres a quick breakdown of whats been got so far...

( thanks to all the RAD Members who have helped - its only by paying decent rates stuff that its been possible at all )

James Voivod... the original donator of the Dyno frame
Del... custom decals being worked on now
Steve Firebird... LG decals and a frame pad in the making
SBD... powder on the forks
DiscoStu... the Pig headset
pkripster... Landing gear forks
Brummie David... gold wheels - finally getting them this weekend
MarkyMunn... brake lever and chain ring... AND re-covering the seat in brown suede

NortyJoff... MX1000A rear brake
...I also got the tyres, cable & grips from people on here but I can't remember who yet... sorry

Got a dodgy looking Redline chainring off ebay for Â£8 and it's stripped and polished up a treat.

Got some VP450 Foot Jaws from Retrospect

...its coming together

Ed - that looks very much in the style of the retro NOMEREA from the early 2000's

I don't get mucch chance to show off my old builds, but here goes anyway for a bit of inspiration,.... my moment of glory was this 1982 Nomura build

ED209 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 09, 2012, 08:58 PM »

Do these ever come up for sale?

brass monkey! · « **Reply #19 on:** March 09, 2012, 09:29 PM »

not that often.... and not very many in the UK

I bid on one about 6 months ago on ebay, and the seller ended the auction a day from the end and I was winning at the time, not seen one since then

Vintage or BMX Museum are your best bets

I really would like one of those ...

Looking good that Ed .

Just need a chain, a lil red DC sticker for the brake and to 'white' the MX in... might get some different tyres tho... the walls aren't quite light enough on the ones I've got
