Nice tank!

Like the colour though man, that’s got to weigh a ton!! To think that was the norm for a few years.

I had this delivered a few days ago. Solid tank with lovely honest patina, mostly original down to the flaking Alex Supra A pro wheels. This old bird will just be wiped over a little, greased and tinkered with. Looking for some suitable grips in the spares box for starters.

Yeah, installing bearings with a normal hammer is not a good idea in my eyes. I know people do it but still.

Slippery slope more like!! I don’t have the spare space anymore, so I bought the Colony with the express intention of selling the Sunday. If (and it’s a BIG if) I do snag those forks then I could sell the Morning forks to make a decent frame set. Maybe baby!

The brake hanger arrived 

It’s like a strip tease ffs.

I then realised I had no BB press as I left them both at mum’s nor a rubber mallet so I’ve ordered both.

Smashing on bearings with a hammer would have only ended in tears.

Haha the old slippery path to another whole bike 

My thumb bled all damn night. It soaked three plasters ffs.

Any way I stripped down the S&M. So the parts are all freed up

Going to game with my mate this weekend and do housework etc.

Coming along nicely!

I’ve been looking at some newer Sunday forks for sale on Yahoo Auctions and today I noticed that the seller had reduced the starting price by half!! I need another BMX purchase like a hole in the head but man, I’m tempted by 50% off as they’d go great with the Colony frame!!

Amazingly I’ve managed to cut open my thumb when doing the bars ffs. Went to spin them around when buffing and my thumb got caught in the barrel adjuster on the lever ffs.

Good news is the paint correction went perfectly. All of the minor rub marks are now gone and it’s like black glass with the ceramic coating on.



That’s the fork. I need to fit the crown race and bearing before I wrap the middle of the head tube with gold vinyl. Annoyingly I’ve bought cut out spacers so I also need to paint a portion of it black.

Right here be the bars lever and grips.



It’s a good thing I have cotton gloves ffs.

I’m waiting for parts.

I put the lever and grips on last night. I need to polish them (coming with Amazon today) then ceramic coat (got).

The fork has some minor rub marks so they need polish and ceramic coat so I’ll do that over the weekend and then the entire frame.

But yeah, no headset yet (so no star nut or top cap or crown race) and no tool or brake cable cutters.

I also ordered some PPF too that hasn’t come yet.

So yeah, it’s all waiting now. Mid next week I reckon, though I’m certainly not in any hurry.

I’m just glad I bought those tyres on sale for 9.99 as otherwise I’d probably do something daft like buy some Tioga FastrX for 60 quid EACH lmao.
