Little update..

Finished refurbishing the headlock a bloody fiddly job..

You may think why bother and I could have easily bought a NOS one but..

Its the best bit personally bring bits back to life and save a few

....

Anyway..

It was a bit battered and chewed but ..

a bit off filing and my dremel job done..

95% done now with this build..

Just waiting on one decal from Del (Currently ill with Food poisoning but slightly better now)

Before..

All Prepared and masked off..

After...

Ady · « **Reply #77 on:** May 27, 2016, 05:17 PM »

Right then...

Just fitted the final decal today and I would like to say it is finally finished

I have really liked this build and I have tried in every detail too to finish this iconic special build and to match what MD rode in the first pic of this thread..

I would like to say a quick thank-you too Del for his amazing decals..

Steve of Esemdesign for the pad set..

Stubill (Stuart) for his help with the spec list for this build..

And Julian for the painting the frame and powder coating..

And all the great comments on this great forum.

And finally ...

Raddad (JIM) for letting go his grail bike.
Such a very nice helpful guy.
So again a special thank-you to Jim for "our" grail bike.
Without his help and knowledge this would not have happened..
So knock out a few tunes on you axe bud..

So Jim..

You are the man..

enjoy..

I found this thread the other day and immediately sought out my stash of Bmx Action Bikes for some scanning work....

Always loved Mikes bike from that shoot.

What is the story with the first gen sport here. Was this Mikes bike..? Where did it come from..?

All I know it was originally from the UK possibly left from one of the Haro team members .
It was probably cheaper back then to sell than return it back to the USA..
I got it from a great member on here .
It was listed by someone else on here a couple of years back originally but didn't sell ..
At some stage over the years it was re-painted orange

He has a great collection who had it before the both of us who ever he is..
