Thought I would throw up some pics of my S&M Next Generation. I bought the bike in a bit of a state; It had all the right bits but had been paint stripped and left to rust.   Stripped it down to the bare frame and got to work taking it back to bare metal. Gave it a coat of Krust to make sure it would stay shiny:   Next up was primer:   Tarted up the brake leaver and bars:     Then Painted the frame:   Slapped it all back together:  The 90's are back! Big chain ring and chrome forks <3      Spec is; S&M Next Generation Frame S&M Pitch Forks Redkneck stem T-1 High Rise Bars Primo Cranks/ Pedals/ Grips/ Saddle AD990 Seventies Hubs and front rim, SUN Big City rear. Rides really nice. Having been out of the BMX game for the best part of 7 years I got some practice in at Corby skate park.     Good fun! |

Currently driving a '68 Karmann Ghia as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

De ratting. Nice work, 90's is the new Old-Skool.  looks great all shiney, and looks like you've still 'got it' with 7 years off! |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Funny, the first time I was into BMX it was all about the colours (80's). Second time round we were 'industrialising' our bikes - ie. paint stripper taken to frames etc..
Now it's gone full circle.
I've got still kicking Standard A-headset stem, DK inverted, AD990 with boss and Tech 77 lever if anyones interested.

Nice BMX..... bit after my time - so all the names of stuff is alien to me ;D Looks like you not shy when it comes to riding your machine either  Didn't realise there was a skate/bmx park in Corby? Back in the day me & my mates would go to the Concrete park in Wicksteed park with our £12.99 skateboards..... although we'd just stand around trying to look cool - we very rarely would try anything just in case any of the 'bigger boys' laughed at us ;D |
