My very first build ever chaps, Never seen before on RAD by anyone.

A massive thanks to Sawzell for all his polishing,

especially the rims and a big thanks to Dell for the stickies.

It's taken me 3 months of hard graft, especially sourcing parts. I had nothing in the first place to add so this bike has been blagged from you guys and Ebay. My bank account is now empty.

This will be raced in the old school series aswell. (injury pending)

Here it is peeps, i'm happy with it.

A 1990 Free Agent Limo.

Man so good to see that Budgie. It was my first bike too i had a purple one i used to take the mud guards off and my old man used to put them back on i remember thinking it looked cool without them.
I probs not seen one since but now i see it i remember everything about it especially the pedals.

Here's my entry for this month.

Firstly I need to give a huge shout out and thanks to a couple of people who without their help this would never have happened.

For the frame and forks I need to say thanks to Spike over on Burnerworld. For being very patient with me even when I was being very fussy and anal I need to say a huge thanks to Del for the decals. We got there in the end dude.

. cbrgill for the little things that just finish of a buld so well and all the other things I got off him to help me finish this off. And finally to Buttsbikeshop for the chroming. Top notch mate.

Del · « **Reply #12 on:** May 05, 2008, 07:45 PM »

I'[ve been looking forward to seeing this one Simon, glad to have helped out with the decals and no probs being fussy, you're the customer and they're always right apparently!

As I recall you either went Budgie > Tomahawk > Chopper OR Boxer > Strika > Grifter in you childhood bike progression.

Ring any bells anyone?

The budgie deserves a thread of its own!
Budgie, Striker, BMX for me but remember the boxer's and Grifters well

Did anyones Striker have a coaster brake? mine did but i never saw another with one. (bendix coaster i think)

macky · « **Reply #24 on:** May 07, 2008, 08:11 PM »

I had a Tomohawk first then got budgie for a bit, then had a Striker... God, i'd forgotten about them!!

Wasnt the Striker's like a mini Grifter?

Wish i had some pics of me old bikes.......
