Fook all. I'm priced out of the hobby. I will have to sell one of my 4 to build again and I'm very much attached to them all.

I haven't built an 80's bike for a long time, but just built one and god damn the parts are expensive. However with a bit of searching and lateral thinking it hasn't ended up costing too much. Yes NOS MX1000 calipers are way too expensive to buy, but one that needed a bit of cleaning and restoration cost me £35, Kashimax Aero seats are crazy prices, but there are other seats to use for a lot less money.

Looking forward to seeing it built Sean, frame and forks look amazing

much prefer a build with a few different parts that have some thought put into them rather than the usual

Not sure if i'll build a bike but i might build a house ....... if i ever get planning permission

You could build a street before you get round to doing a bike again Joffster.

Not if that's street is under my Local Planning Area's control , im getting the impression you need planning permission to pitch a fookin tent round here

I have heard that one for the last 12 years, every year it is 'oldschool is dead', 'nobody builds anything any longer', 'there is nothing left to build, it has all been done', 'radbmx is dead', 'forums are dead, social media is the way forward'. But every year new people join the sport/hobby, more bikes and built and new previously unseen bikes are unearthed.

Sounds nice,you got any pics of it? I've been after some 1 1/8th TNT forks a for years,never see them.

CustardLips · « **Reply #70 on:** January 01, 2016, 05:46 PM »

It's 1" threaded Ste and if it's going it's going as a package with a few other TNT bits.
