Title: Retrodan72
Post by: Retrodan72 on May 11, 2011, 09:54 PM: Ok 1st up from Dec '08 was my 1st build since getting back into the scene, A NOS 1985 Aero Reflex bought for Â£62 inc p+p off the bay, loved this bike.

Next up still in Dec '08 ( I got carried away) is a 1984 DP Firebird Freestyler Ltd Edition GL Plus, frame number 0394, I bought the frame, forks, ladder bars (EZ's fitted in pic) and an SR stem for Â£60, made a bit of profit on this as you would imagine, but only as I needed emergency work done on my house.

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/rr359/Retrodan72/n602073738_1312921_8114.jpg)

Then last year I built a thrown together Burner with a jumble of parts I had left over, I had 2 Burner builds on the go but needed a quick rider as a pit bike on a stage rally.

Then Oct 2010 and I built a 1984 Night Burner Custom
So then some of you saw this at Chester, a 1984 Super Tuff Burner

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/rr359/Retrodan72/Picture223.jpg)

Then last one to date is the 1984 Ammaco Mongoose Supergoose 3 (UK model)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/rr359/Retrodan72/100_0479-1.jpg)

And after a lot of cleaning and polishing and some new bits, have got it to this stage ready for Blackpool.

Post by: Retrodan72 on September 26, 2011, 10:02 PM: Performer updated with NOS Sharp grips and NOS griplocks courtesy of Gaz (pooly) and Pete (quad...), and a set of donuts off the bay.

Had a massive compliment off Brett on Saturday when he said that there was nothing on this bike that he would change...now that made my day, means my builds are getting better.

I love this bike, it's great to ride and if it wasn't for Dave (brummie) selling that at such a bargain price then it wouldn't have been possible for me to own a bike i'd dreamt of as a kid - so a massive thanks Dave, a beer coming your way on Sat. :daumenhoch:

Not really mate, not compared to what some people do, and these are over 5 years. Obviously a lot of those bikes are long gone, so the sale of those and the funds are used to pay for others. And I tend to use repop parts, unless I can afford to get the OG stuff at the time.

Cheers for the comment. :daumenhoch:
