Awesome Brett! More pink than pascha.

Excuse me for questioning your bike building skills, but isn't the chainring on the wrong way round?

No it is meant to be on that side. Chain alignment is miles out on the other side

sweet as brett, i like the chainring on the other, makes it look very clean. Tell me, how hard was it to route the cable through the frame?

Easier than the Forks

March 2010 I started this build and have only just her to my satisfaction. I thought about a lavender or pink seat post but it's not for me

Nice bits, not my cup of tea colour wise, but attention to detail is, as always, damn good .

Thanks for the comments,  I knew building this bike would not be to everyone's cup of tea as far as colour ways go but for me it is proper mid 80s BMX  :smitten: :smitten: I could tone it down with some lavender Comp STs but the pink Panaracers look so right to me at the moment.

By far the stupidest colour scheme ever imagined, but fook me does it look amazing.

Nice bike and I have no idea how those colours go together and make the bike look so ace.

Thanks Sean :daumenhoch:

Infact Thanks everyone for the great feedback on this build.  This is my last build for now or until I can convince my misses to let me do another,  I wanted this one to be the best build I have done  :4_17_5: I  think I have achieved that
Since MK last year I have built 6 bikes and I love them all.  I bet the bank manager will be relieved :LolLolLolLol:
Time to change a car before more builds  :wtf:
