Okay. I was going to ask about the maxi. It looks like it basically came that way BITD. Coaster brake Tuff II, black steel bars and stem, alloy post, tange clamp and MKS pedals. I am not sure about the post or clamp but it looks like it never had hand brakes. Anyone know how they came or have any pics? Basically I am going to get the frame, bars and stem powdered(Roberto, I will send the other one soon.) I am part way through restoring the Tuffs, I will have to get a new seat(Kashimax mx) new grips, chain and tyres and it it will basically be restored. Having trouble getting the stem out. Its stuck bad.
Hey guys,

Gold Anno Pro Neck (mint)
Chrome Araya's
Hinged MX seat post clamp
Maxy cranks
Fibreglass Uni seatpost
Cassap plate

Top build 84profile..... looks awesome.... and its cousin just below it...... get him off the Corbys so he can piece himself together.
Here's a few more pic's!
Hey guys, just wanted to say this BMX community here is awesome.
A few weeks ago I posted seeking some tyre swaps, both Rohan and Reece helped out and the deals were done. Could not have been easier and with no dramas, top blokes to deal with and I hope that I can find stuff to help others out as well.
Also brings me back to early in the old Aussie thread when I was seeking a powdercoater. Scotty directed me to Rob (master powdercoater) and not a more perfect job could be done, so big thanks to Scotty for good advice and Rob for an awesome job.
What I am getting at here is that in todays world 'generally' everyone is out for themselves, screwin people down to the last dollar, not willing to share secrets or deals and so on, but when I come here its a bunch of mates helpin each other out..... even if you dont know them.
Cheers to you all.
Now so this dont think that I've gone faggy. Beer is awesome, cars are awesome, bmx is awesome and chicks are awesome.

Howard there are a few nice parts on that bike. Now idea what the frame is though.
Ozzy, didn't ask as I heard the rider had done a few big jumps on the bike and wasn't sure what condition it would be in.
As for GT builds, blue is the best way to go and maybe throw one or two gold pieces in there for good measure.

The forks look very "Crisp" but i just can't remember what the frame looked like. Someone should be able to ID it. (it's got some good bits on it)
STU....

I smell schill bidding, why would the same bidder bid on BOTH bikes? and the fact that the only 2 bidders on both bikes have less than 10 feedback.
