That is one sweet frame, very nice colour, a bit like the deep red on the rear of mine.

Cool project. I went full klunker with mine.
Gazza 3.0 front tyre and an old Brooks saddle. Shimano Deore cranks which was a hand-down from my Anthem X, mounted with the Truvativ BMX-to-Euro BB conversion kit. It`s pretty fun to ride during lazy summer days.

Thanks for sharing yours! The more the better! There's all sorts of madness going on there but I bet it's fun to ride. Is it a 20"?
The bars arrived yesterday: they are proper good!

Yeah, it`s slightly too large for me, the toptube make things pretty stretched out but I`m compensating with the stubby 24/7-stem. For surfing around on it`s pretty cool although my blue Humu fits me better. Might even sell this one.

I won't ask if you'd like to swap...yet
Little update.
CK Patriot headset ordered
White cables, nipples, tyres, bars and grips all obtained.
I'm off the LBS on Saturday to see if they'll build the wheels and check out what pedals and saddles they have.

So the LBS hate me since they have to try and build up a wheel on the rear hub to try and get the sproket / cog removed to try and get the rest of the old spokes out. Dam the previous owner who left it that way!
T-cut the frame over the weekend and it came up even nicer than before
Got the Curves on (what a pain they are) and the cock-pit sorted.

Reaaallly like these bikes, I would go with maxxis hookworm tyres (2.5" slicks) sprung brooks saddle and super swept back bars for a beach cruiser style bike. But your build sounds far more practical for what your after
That paint :shock:
Love the headset - good luck with the build

Oh dear. The hub is a no-go. The sprocket is un-moveable meaning we can lace it up.
I really don't want a shitty BMX far-eastern knock off so I'll have a search around on the 'bay but if anyone has any suggestions, old or new then please let me know!! I'll check out some of the build threads for info...

So, just so I get this right, I need a rear hub with 112mm axle (and 32 hole). Indeed, the options are limited and it doesn't help my PC doesn't want to play ball with the Phil Wood site (I can't check what they have for some reason).
Something like this?
