    Scary prices indeed. Somebody warned me a Laserlite would be expensive to build and they weren't wrong!! Still, the one thing with rare expensive hard to find parts is they get snapped up pretty quick when they get put up for sale. Most of the bike is now sold. Next one will be a rider...

    For anyone that might be interested, the Laserlite is now split down into parts and is for sale on RadBMX. The fun was in the building/restoring and now I keep tripping over it in the dinig room. Might have a look around and build an old Diamond Back as a rider! The for sale thread can be...

    Right, I've finished the Laserlite! Sorry for the huge post, but I put up a thread on RAD and have just come back to this one. Piccies and spec below: In the end I wasn't thrilled with the condition of the frame so I had the frame completely restored and rechromed including repairing the...

    Thanks for this. I got a NOS set of Tange TRX's from Alans BMX recently, and graphics from Del from RadBMX so I'm sorted thanks! Only a set of Flight cranks and a couple of other bits and bobs and I can start putting it together!

    Thanks for this - great help, especially the link to parts. I can't believe I threw out a 1980 Haro Lightning plate about 5 years ago when I moved house. Idiot!! I reckon it'll cost the guts of £1200 by the time it's finished if I source all the right parts.......maybe a little more if I...

    Well, I've bought the frame and bars. It's a 1983 Kuwahara Laserlite KZ83. I have a loooooong list of parts to locate but I guess the most important will be: Kuwahara Laserpost Laserlite Forks or Tange TRX Redline Flight 400 cranks Suntour XC2 Bear Trap Pedals Araya 7X rims in crome...

    OK, here's my first post - please be kind! :-) I used to ride BMX in the early 80's - Unfortunately we weren't well off enough for something like a Haro or a Kuwahara so I had a Pirhana MK2 and raced at Poole Panthers BMX track. My parents bought it from Merry Cycles - the only place you...
