FINISHED: The Retro Tank Build - Spooky Metalhead

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
Joe

Re: The Retro Tank Build - Spooky Metalhead

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.

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.
