right here goes my 1st post on here so if it all goes wrong then don't be to surprised.After seeing what other guys have made out of old bmxs I thought I would have a crack at it.
this was my starting point Ive had this bike out my garden since i was bout 17 I'm 26 now lol
then I took my hacksaw to it and started working out the shape I wanted luckily I had and old trampoline frame kicking around = bike frame
so after a fare bit of swearing and lining up by eye my frame was getting some where
next I broke it all down ground it filled it swore at it some more but then got my mate to paint it and all was good ;D i wanted it to stand out (but also I got a Mk2 escort so wanted to see what the colour was like ) so went for le mans green defiantly stand out colour lol
so carefully started putting it all together bought a tiny front sprocket for it (found out later big mistake peddle like fook and get no where fast) so built up but needed sort out handle bars
so found some more tube and extended bmx handlebars then she was ready after pinching seat from my mountain bike
been out and about on it and get some strange looks just need to sort out a decent seat and also some type of roller for the chain so can fit bigger sprocket without marking the frame.
