Here's my entry this month. It's a Birmingham Wheels, made on site back in the day. People may have seen this frame in green on BMX Museum, it was in that Dutch museum and they've listed it as just 'Wheels' as the make. The plan was to have it powdercoated red but once I'd stripped it and saw that braising, I just couldn't cover it up so got it Laquered. I haven't included what bits are on it, I don't care what watch a womans wearing when she's naked.

Thought it was about time I contributed to one of my favourite parts of this forum. This has been a lot of fun to build and some of it was designed by committee with my fellow RAD members such as silver or black components, one piece or 3 piece crank - that always sparks a healthy debate but not as much as the choice of wheels! I'm not sure if you can enter a bike with different wheels in the pictures so i'm sticking to my guns and entering it with spokes. Its a clean build and in my opinion spokes adhere more to that aesthetic :daumenhoch:
So here's the parts run down. The only thing in the list which isn't in the photos is the headset, but i'm away from the bike now so i'll stick to what i've taken as both headsets are black.

After being a member on RAD for a long time now, it had never accorded to me that I could enter a bike into botm, the builds on this forum always seem well outta my league :P
However, recently I bought a set of proper old school baby blue tuffs off STEVESREDVXR, and then thought I'd show him what happened to them, he thought my bike looked nice and said I should enter botm, so here we are.
Hope you guys like, and Steve please vote, this was your idea :D my mates would laff if I got no votes :D
Its an 84 Hutch Trickstar, with hutch bits and bobs, finished in black with chrome and baby blue details.
