Z rims with Suzue looseball hubs, SS spokes and alloy nipples (built the wheels myself)
Repop decals (seattube decal is original)
Pro Neck
NOS GT pro bars
NOS Haro plate
NOS GT layback
Shotgun II seat

NOS Cali Lite pads
NOS Tange headset lock
NOS Tuf Neck chainwheel
NOS Sugino chainring
Double pinch flites

Goddam that's nice. I have on that looks pretty close to that.

Very nice build! I'm in the middle of building an '85 Goose myself, a bike I had BITD also. Where did you get the decals?

I like the built in jumps in your yard!!!

Thanks!
The decals are the one's that pop up on the bay every once in a while. They are OK but the ink is not anywhere near as dark as the originals.

Oh the jumps Funny story about those...A few years ago I came home to some of the little kids from the neighborhood in my yard with shovels trying to fine tune them and riding their bikes all over my yard...I freaked obviously but later laughed when I thought about the stuff my friends and I did to our neighbors when we were younger.
