this is my 5th bike and last bike, it was the most desirable for me and it took me a long time to build it

Holy cr@p, that thing is awesome!!!
Best build I've seen on here in quite a while.

I love National Pro's ... wish they werent so small, or I'd build a replic of mine from back in the day.

thats a wicked build!!!!!!

except its illegal to build a national pro without a pro-neck on it. im callin' the cops

funny, my NP build is my "last" build too

Looks very nice. Hope mine turns out as sweet.

Truly sick and beautiful build right there.

Wow! What a nice build!

That is bling'n!!! I love it!!

Tony

NICE!


Swap you the ESP for a ProNeck - lol

real nice build is that frame set nos ??

I can think of a certain member named Steve who is going to love this.

Right here to chime in Chris.......

that thing is BE-UUUUUUTIFUL! Makes me want a 20" in chrome now also....when you get tired of looking at that thing, I'd be happy to add it to my 3 other National Pros and take care of it for you! Seriously, great job-that bike is sweet!

very nice build with a good mix of parts.

A hardcore collector friend once told me a while back, that for the eighties the three most killer bikes sold to the public were the Hutch Pro Star, the Diamond Back Harry Leary Turbo, and the National Pro. I have to say that is a nice build.

Awesome build! That sure takes me back..Nicest bike I've seen on here in a long time. Super cool..

I echo the above! Awesome!!! Even with an ESP - nice ironic touch.

Everything about that bike is perfect. Thanks for sharing.

All of the right accents make it pop like corn man.. what a nice job and great looking bike.

Killer build one more time !
Glad to see it finished.

So you're quiting now ?!?!

Lol about the stem comments.

Thumbs up!!! Awesome Build..

What a beautiful bike! Seriously, a really nice build!

I'm really digging those Bullseye hubs in that colour. I want some in that colour for my PR240

NICE!

Its beautiful, I wouldn't change a thing!

Great job.

WOW! That is awesome. Still one of my favorite looking frames. What is the TT length on that? They have really good chrome if I remember.

i'm really happy to read all what you said, thanks all
i used the esp stem because i just find it nicer than the pro neck, i used hutch bars for the same reason , now i won't change anything on it
the frameset is not NOS but in really good shape

about the lenght, it's 37-1/2 wheel base

You just need Shawn Texas sitting on it with his shirt off - lol

Here he is.
Check out the guy !




picture taken from BMX A issue 9, sept. 84

wow

Ya, there wasn't many guys that big racing bmx then. How did he ride an 18" TT frame? Amazing!!!

FRdavid, I'm with ya on the Hutch bars. I rode GT's all my bmx days and there wasn't anything like Hutch bars.

, Hutch bars in the 80's and now S&M bars on all my bikes

that IS truely inspirational !!!! looks like it's going at warp factor 7 !!!!!!

now this is all my collection after this 5th and final build


the March 84 (UK)

the MBK 86 (France)

the National Pro 82 (USA eh eh)

the March 86 (UK)

the Kuwahara 83 (Japan)

i dunno how,or why,but the UK has the sickest NOS stuff i ever saw...is it because shop owners bought stuff in bulk to save shipping costs restocking?
it seems like 9 out of 10 times,this super buttery omg items on the evilbay are from uk....bah.

oh yeah,your collection is bananas.**applause**

i think the greatest stuff is in USA, all the nicest parts i have came from here, you had more shops in a single state than in a european full country
