Old School Hero
Hi, This is my second build after building my Cannondale Super V (Uber'd) about this time last year (its in this forum but didn't get much interest as I pretty much put up before and after photos). After a fun year bombing round on that I fancied a new project and I want to learn to jump better so I thought I'd build a 4X/jump bike in a bit of hark back to my youth and to replace the one I had stolen a few years back.
This is (was) supposed to be a bit of a budget build but after buying a rather nice pair of Bombers off here the DIY paint job on the frame just won't do so I am on the look out for a decent and reasonable costing powder coater in the Newport/Cardiff area.
I'm 6'7" so I can't wait to get the odd looks down the local BMX track on this once built.
So please find the spec and some photos below.
