Thanks mate, I really enjoyed sourcing the parts and putting it all together... The icing on the cake was finally getting a padset. I would like to get another One at some point.

Back for another look mate and i like the details  :daumenhoch: are those the repop skyway pedals or original ones?

If i was to pick at anything id say it defo needs a front brake being a freestyler and some street/ramp tyres :coolsmiley:

Morning, Pedals are original though are pretty scratched up but i only paid 30 quid for them, ideally they need new screws and dust caps...but they polished up ok. As for the front brake, it makes sense to have a front one as its a freestyler(i will just use my foot in the meantime  ;D)., ...have a cracking weekend. :)

When I've got a few pennies I might... My beat as sweet as it is did put a dent in my wallet , have a good bank holiday.

I can understand the pain of building a beat matey ;) the wallet gets kicked from pillar to post but its worth it and they seem to keep going up in price still right now :daumenhoch:

I also had comp3's on my beats untill i found some cheap freestyle tyres, if i hadnt just sold 3 pairs id have offered you some >:(

Just ride the shoite out of those comp3's and get some skids layed down, they will soon be less knobbly :P
This ride will look juicy sweet in the summer sunshine :coolsmiley:

And I still haven't got of forks arrrrggghhhh... Ive seen some vee rubber freestyle tyres on flea bay so I will keep my eye on them. I was going to wraP carpet round my comp 3's to protect them ;D . I am tempted to buy a raw beat frame and put my own spin on it but I'm just waitIng to find a get away driver for my next job. Cheers for the tips and all that, be lucky. :)
