Here are some shots of my latest build. I have been collecting parts for this one for a couple of months.
Got the frame off Ebay a month or two ago.
It isn't done yet but I wanted to show everyone. I am still waiting on a chrome seatpost that should be here in a couple of days so the UNI seat can get switched out for a brown leather Kashimax. I will also relace the wheels with SS spokes and gold alloy nipples when I get a chance as the current ones are a little grungy.
This one is going to get ridden a little
Parts breakdown is
Chrome Araya 7x's with Suzue hubs
NOS Rainbow Comp III's
SE Powerwing bars...Thanks Rodney Rodriguez
Silver Pro Neck
NOS Baby blue bubble font AME rounds
NOS MX hinged seatclamp
MX 1000's with tech 3 lever
Profile 185mm cranks...Thanks Ken Pilska
NOS Tuf Neck Chainring and Chainwheel...Thanks Jeffrey1970
Shimano DX pedals...Thanks Joe Wood

Very nice !! How come most of the SE builds lately are the Powder Blue color with Brown? It's a nice color but SE did use others! Nice build!

Doh.....I always get so queasy when it is time to put the decals on a bike....I guess I should have looked at the OTHER side of one of the other PK's around here


Yes they are unstamped Profiles.

This is Powder blue PK number 2 for me. The other one has a black fork and parts though. I was hot for a BB w/brown PK for a while.
I still want a white and gold one and have most of the parts for it.

Your not alone when it comes to fork decals I never know. always have to check in the museum. Anyway nice ride. I only ever saw one PK BITD I got to pick it up, light as a feather.

Is there a general rule that you read a decal bottom to top on the left side of a fork

Nice bike!
Will look super with the brown seat.
I know that this color is a nightmare to build up.
I've just builded my baby blue Ripper after months of trying the perfect combination!
Will post pics when I've the decals!
