Hey Marty , about time we caught up bud ......


Been thinking of a parts list for this , so far it has waiting a Hutch stem , CW bars but need to get them chromed ,
xcII , thats about it , but will be going with opc  black z rims with Sturmey Archer hubs with hub brakes ,also have a black
Jag seat og shrooms . Wasn't going to go the gyro/spinner way , but I do like a acs pro so I think I will prob go that way .
I have a Tioga bear trap 2 fs headset in pink so think i'll get that chromed . Nice plain chrome and black for this

Not much of an update apart from the hubs have turned up  .............





The rear need converting to run on a bmx , but not hard to do .

Also converted the xc's to 9/16 and polished one of the cages for now as they're not looking that good

been trying to upload pics , nope , so back to photobucket









didn't go overboard with the polishing as the bad scrapes are a bit close to the stamping on the cage .
Waiting on a set of black z rims to turn up now 


Lovely frame set

Cheers bud , been waiting for one of these for a long time   :daumenhoch:

Cage has come up real nice, be good to do the stamping in black as opposed to white on black as og.

Might need to pop my ACS Stoker stem round for a little polish there Steve...
