This is what i'm starting with....



And the wheels from this ...



to this...



As you have probably seen on another post.

Hey BMX mags are great

Are they stiff
As some are wobbly

The wheels are very sturdy, or stiff as you put it..lol

i have know rubbed down the forks,handlebars and headstock.
They are in the process of being sprayed.
The frame is stripped and now ready for sanding, i will post some pics tomorrow.

First coat of paint...



I prepared and sprayrd the handlebars and headstock and mudguards too but forgot to take photo's during the process.

Its all coming together now...





except the wheels all the parts i'v used are from different models of grifter...



Should i use black calipers?



or grifter chrome calipers...



Decals on....



Both my babies together....

black nor chrome suit this bike, im not sure wqhat colour you should choose?

it reminds me of HRZ's kustom, the wheels suit this bike and keep the pics comeing

looking good i dunno about the calipers thou tough decision you've got there.

hey what about Weimman black alloy calipers with the white writing on them.
Raleigh used them in the late 80s

I am watching them, thankyou.
Elizabeth could have them on her custom, i just dont like the price of the p+p.  

Grips, levers and cables in place....i had to use some levers that were lying around the garage for the time being and i'v decided on the chrome calipers so as not to detract to far away from the grifter theme.

I'v been out playing on my custom today...i put it together with bits i had in the garage, its great fun.

Thats lookin ace love the red walls... but I would say that

those weels are from a gt air my friend has one which he crashed at a skatepark in dunblane into a 6ft bowl it was and ambulance job and the park was at the top of a hill mind

love the colour ?what colour is it,i assume its a car colour but which? looks great

proper badass grifter

Nice ..... i have some pairs of original levers if interested pm me ?

Thanks for the recent comments, i cant remember what the colour is. i have since changed the wheels too (still 3 spoke mags)

What original levers you got yoda?

got a few used pairs with the black plastic end caps and lever rubbers and a mint pair from when i had a load re plated for a show bike
