Very cool! You put that together very similar to how I tend to build bikes-not true to the exact details of how the bike originally was built, but rather how you would have built it or upgraded it over the years.

Miniz, Were you located in SLC? Do I know you from racing?

I'm in Kearns/WVC now, originally in West Jordan BITD.
I haven't gotten back into racing(yet), but did race 14 Novice back at the old Riverside track in '83-'84. In '85 my bike was stolen, and I made the choice at the time to dump 500.00 into a car rather than another bike. I got back into BMX bikes so I could ride with my daughter, since nowadays you can't let kids ride free like I used to because of all the wackos out there.

Jim< I got the decals on Ebay overseas Repo. Very close to the originals. I still have one stem I sold the other a few weeks ago.
