History: Got this frame from a guy in Aus:




Waza and Trev (Super Max Cromo) took the frame, repaired it, rechromed it:



They sent it to me for the easy part!!!




This build is dedicated to Waza and Trev, who have put in some sterling work, all for no charge at all. There should be more selfless guys like these around - top bananas!!!

if you think this build is good, wait until you see the job they have done with the next GHP. Truly remarkable repair job, I can tell you. Watch this space.

Looks awesome but I think it deserves a straight seatpost, especially with a long frame.
subwax
It has a straight seatpost, mate.

Sidehack Guy

I raced a GHP Pro Long in 1986/87. It was THE best BMX bike I ever rode. It handled better than anything else I had ridden.

Yours is very similiar to the one I owned. I am still trying to track it down.

Very nice.

Awsome GHP! I'm kinda trying to track down a buddies old Pro II. I used to have some of those Odi sig. grips....but a pet ate them..LOL. I'm gonna kill that lil....
Sidehack Guy
Hey subwax - I got home and was able to look at the finished pic! That thing is sweet! I was happy with the first pic, just without the laid back post.... Great job on it!
