Cracking first build.

Personally i would have had a red stem but thats just me.

Bet you are well pleased with that  :daumenhoch:



On a second look, the white stem works really well. ignore me  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

Yeah its a rider too, just forgot how bumpy they are without suspension ;D. I have got a skyway stem for it but i liked the tufneck one better. I have got a red headset lock on the way which i think will look nice.

That's excellent. I never paid much attention to streetbeats until very recently, i'd quite like one myself now. Decent build that mate, do you reckon she deserves some 3 piece cranks????

I was looking at putting a 3 piece on but i stuck to a budget for my first build, but i will use one going forward. :daumenhoch:

I have another orange streetbeat here that i will be building for my business partner, but im not keen on the look of what he wants to do with it  :2funny:

If I get round to doing a streetbeat, it would have to be a dave vanderspek tribute. He had a hand in its design. I think he had the one and only chrome mk1 streetbeat. Orange is a decent starting point, probably needs lots of white and chrome stuff on it.  :buck2:

Nice bike :)
I think there have been a few hutch pro racers for sale on bmxmuseum over the last week that haven't been up for silly money (relatively speaking-they are hutch after all). I managed to get a frame & forks off the bay about 18 months ago for about £190. Luckily it was in France, so i didnt get stung for import duty/customs. I found that trying to find a set of grips was difficult. The ones for sale were knackered, or a new old stock set were up for £250+. Mangaed to get a dyed black set (were blue) in ex/mint cond for £160 on ebay. Patience (and money) are the key. Good luck with it!  :daumenhoch:

I cannot believe the Hutch Tax people pay for those grips!They are the same Tange blister givers that came on burners for fooks sake!fooking horrible things!probably some of the worst grips ever produced imo! :daumenhoch:

Hi guys, whats is the difference between a streetbeat and a streetstyler ? seen the NOS stylers on the bay of evil  for £299 and just a bit curious. Many thanks and happy new year gentleman !
Title: Re: First Build Streetbeat
Post by: stevesredvxr on December 31, 2012, 06:21 PM
A Streetbeat has the oval aero type downtube whilst the streetstyler's is round.
Also the Streetbeat was laden with more high end parts and was considered the better of the two.

Nothing wrong with a Streetstyler, Craig Campbell and Carlo Griggs used them BITD.......I have a NOS one.  :)
Title: Re: First Build Streetbeat
Post by: 4416 on January 01, 2013, 06:05 PM
So its a decent deal at 299 shots ?  (even if the bloke is a hard ass dealer ?)
