Title: My first build since 82'.................
Post by: mivvi on July 28, 2005, 08:58 PM: This is my first build since getting back into BMX. Most of the parts are thanks to the guys on here. Still a few parts im gonna change but you get the idea. Think I need a better camera too. Couldn't have done it with out you lads, so thanks to you all for your help and may it continue. PS. Couldn't preview the picture, so hope it turrns out ok. ;)

Post by: Zippy on July 28, 2005, 09:26 PM: I'd change the wheels, bars, brakes, cranks,stem, grips, levers, cables and seat. But only for the colour. . . . lol

Other than that it's a top build.

Post by: mivvi on July 28, 2005, 09:35 PM: Thanks oberonspacefruit for your comments and the reformatted pic. Im just being fussy but im going to change the bars for white ones and the seat post clamp as its a cheap odyssey type. And no im keeping it that colour as I have a DP with black components and a Haro which is going to have blue, so pink was a change. >:( You all love it really but wouldn't be seen on a pink bike! :D

Post by: CD17 on July 28, 2005, 10:02 PM: I think that looks well good as it is. The only thing I would change is the cranks, for some 3pc.
But thats only cos I don't like 1pc cranks.
Nice work tho.

Chris.

Post by: mivvi on July 29, 2005, 09:46 AM: Well thanks for all your comments. I nearly sold all the parts before building it as I needed the money but glad I held out. I will change the bars, so Quadrophenia if your interested in the pink ones let me know. Mal, nice to hear from you mate. Think I will ride it around town but only with my pink tutu on ;D. Will get a pic of the DP up at some point but still sourcing some parts for it.
