FINISHED: The Retro Tank Build - Spooky Metalhead

[Burren]

Re:

Hi
Did you finish the metalhead build?
I'd be keen to see the outcome. I've still got mine, I bought it in 1999 but recently stripped and rebuilt it as a single speed pump track whore.

Re:

Hi

I am looking to sell my Spooky Metalhead.
Still has most of the original parts which include Profile cranks and Bomber Z1’s.
Let me know if you are interested.
Cheers

Hello,

As you can see I have my own Metalhead and do not require a second however why not pop a For Sale advert up in Retrobike's For Sale section. I am sure someone will be interested. All the best and stay safe.

Re:

Lovely bike! I think I had one about 15 years ago... Bright green and much better than I ever was.

I’ve got serious stem & handlebar envy!

Re: The Retro Tank Build - Spooky Metalhead

Finally got the beast finished, really wanted to get some photos in a heavily industrialised area to give it a nice back drop alas we're still in lockdown, oh well. Don't ask me for the weight, it weighs a tonne, however it rides really well, much more so than I expected. I may order some higher rise bars from Matt at Stout Bikes however as these ones are a tad low.

Re: metalhead

Very nice. I have my 99 fully done and in retirement. I also have a couple of Suspect Devices and a Pit Boss gathering dust in the shed. I may be interested in selling ia Suspect if anyone is interested. Maybe is key word. Just gauging Interest.
