Thanks for the compliments fellas. After riding this around today, I just might need to hold onto this one :)

DONE! Rides like a dream. I was impressed with how comfortable this thing is :thumbsup: Only other thing I plan to do to it is peel off the MCS decal on the seat post.

In the home stretch now! 3 and a half months invested so far.... Not bad considering most of my projects take 3 and a half years typically :grin:

Saw this posted over on the museum.... real nice build :)

Changed my mind on pedals again.... I'll be using some old XCII's now. I should have it all complete and together by the weekend finally! I'll post pics of the final result soon. Can't wait!

So.... Went to mount those Torker forks I bought at the midwest bmx show back in February and the steer tube was about 3/4" too short. UGH! I found another 26" fork with the correct length steer tube on bmxmuseum. They are probably Akisu brand or something like that, but they are chrome and...

Both wheels complete! I laced the rear last night and trued it up on my Park Stand. I spent a quiet morning today rebuilding the Bendix Coaster since the family was away. Waiting on some different forks I purchased this morning on bmxmuseum and still waiting for my Brooks Flyer to show up in...

Front wheel is all tight and trued with new rubber mounted! Happy with the results so far.

Cool! Thanks, Puch is actually what came to mind originally.

Cool stuff! What is the lugged bmx? Looks pretty awesome.

Found some pedals in the basement while searching for a crown race for the build. These old Schwinn pedals are real nice and will be perfect for this build. I'll keep my DX pedals for my BMX build I got goin on.....

Welp.... That sucked. 260mm is too long. I laced it hoping I could get some tension...NOPE! I should have come here first before ordering spokes. 258mm on order! Thanks for the tip Dizzle :)

Cool stuff! Love the straight bar Schwinns.

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I already purchased spokes... 260mm. That was the best information I could find when I was googling around. Wonder if they will be too long. They are cheap enough, I could probably get the correct ones I suppose.

Arayas and Snakebellies. Need to build up the wheels with my hubs I have for this one....
