Retro-gone. Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 slung this 73' chopper together yesterday for a local guy whod been collecting parts for a year or so
Chud Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 How frikkin cool is that!! Well done that man,bet the bloke you put it together for is over the moon with it.
Retro-gone. Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Posted January 16, 2010 could do with a white seat strap but other than that its done, not totally to factory spec but its only to hang on a wall in his 60' & 70s memoribilia room.
morcheen Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 he has to do a few weelies before he puts it on the wall i had a mk2 purple one
Retro-gone. Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Posted January 16, 2010 this is my own purple mk2..
immingham Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 Fookin hell that brings back some memories
Slammed Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 this is my own purple mk2.. reminds me of my old one exactly like that but less mint and missing bits damn its so tempting to go back into the old skool bmx and chopper scene
stevepeanut Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 nice job Tony, looks ace I've still got this, got it off my sister's boyfriend for a few quid, but I agreed that I wont sell it. I use it from time to time when I am hung over and driving is a bit risky, pop to the shop for a bacon sarnie on it. I could seriously get into buying and fixing up old bmxs. Would love an old grifter too
morcheen Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 seen a grifter on a skip a few years back,all complete and i didn't bother to take it they are the heaviest bike known to man you know
