My "Nearly" Finished BMX

mitchelljames - 2013-08-07 11:57

I got this bike about a year ago, it sat for a while, but now with a very limited budget its almost finished.

Ive just finished putting on new decals and ive got a blue MX (copies lol) brake set in the shed waiting to go on also.

Great job MJ. Hard to believe the before and after photos

Excellent job MJ, well worth the time and effort.

Looks great! Careful with those fake MX-1000 brakes if you actually ride, they don't work very well compared to original Dia Compe MX's.

Nice MJ. I'm in the middle of a bike build myself but its taken forever. I will post some pics when I'm done. Yours looks sweet tho mate look forward to seeing the next 1 !!!!!!

Thanks again for the positive comments guys.

Panansonic fan, don't worry mate, I hardly go fast enough to need a brake

 

Ok got my seat post clamp on now. Also got a back brake fitted, didn't bother with the front as its a bit rusty and needs a refurb.

Heres a pic with my Redline.

Cheers mate, there is a few of us on here with old skool rides.

Its all about the 80's

boomboxtaff - 2015-07-09 16:50

I would love to be able to go back to the 80's, especially around 84-87. Such good times.
