Re: Ooh, how much for the blue one posted?

Re: DCD Hi, do you still have a blue Dave's chain device for sale?

Re: Cheers, yea it was a bit of a steel! I built the jump 'for the kids'!!

Got this of eBay yesterday. The build went well. I drilled/filled out the seat tube bottle bosses to allow me to have a long seat post for more sensible riding if needed! I'm happy with how it turned out as it was never designed to be a BMX but it seems to work!

Is this classed as retro BMX at all...?!

Re: tyres All too narrow man

Re: finally finished! Thanks for the comments! The altoids tin holds 4 AA batteries powering both the front and rear lights plus the handle bar lights with the wires routed under the bar tape. all from 1 switch! I've used old dynamo lamps, made up the wiring loom and fitted LED bulbs.

Re: finally finished! Thank you! Definitely pleased with it!

Re: finally finished! It's complete, looking good and riding good. Ready for work in the morning. UST took it out for a spin and all was well. Very pleased with it!

Re: levers Lovely bike and very nicely restored! What are the levers? I've never seen them before but they look awesome!

Re: it's finally finished Just set the brakes up and wrapped the bars!

Re: Dawes Thanks I'm definitely pleased with it! It's going to be my daily steed so will see some action and take some abuse so won't look this that for long!

Re: more pinstripes! I thought the underside of the mudguards needed Finnishing!

Re: all painted Quick mock up today

Re: Dawes I'm kind off wishing I rode it for a while before striping and re-painting it to iron out any problems with the brakes/gears etc but it's too late now! The Gitane is still built up so I'm hoping to do a side by side strip - re buuld, without any problems! Then I'm hoping to use it...
