Hey John, I was thinking on the mainboard (old school) for the Kuwahara reply...as I know there are a bunch of big Kuwahara fan's that wouldn't come here, but would be very interested...(however I'm sure your best mate would chime in!)...that is such a great reply!
Oops. Oh well, I won't bother now through fear of becoming a posting pest!

Was looking through some photos and can't remember posting about this one, or seeing any other photos. I think the owner's name was Tim and he had the Moosegoose and 24" Quicksilver. New school tuff wheels with old school flavour.

Stu has been nagging for a while about getting lineups of bikes. I've kind of done it as I have the camera with me for once. Photo's are crap but here's what I have in the "KIDS" room Stu.

Nice collection Adam! Damn, is your wife and Matt's wife made from the same mold? I think mine would leave me if one of the rooms was filled up that much with BMX gear!
I'd love to see that GHP built up! I don't think I have seen one of those built up in anyone's collection.

John, during the week I live in Melbourne closer to the business and the wife and kids stay down the coast. She kind of refuses to look in this room except when trying to justify spending a bit of money. I tend to lose those arguments.

For anyone doing up a looptail ET (or any ET for that matter), the future is looking good. I am about to recieve my frame back from roberto powdered in the candy red type colour (i cant remember the exact name) and i have just spoken to guy that is going to airbrush the white over the top followed by a clear, and he is local! All up the total cost will end up about the same price as a rechrome!
pics to follow when the frame arrives!

That's a lot of money for nine little letters Stu. Well worth it though as it does finish it off.
Matt, nice work on the GT and Paterson although I am somewhat of a Larry low-poler but for my new schooler I am a Harry high-polar. Perhaps I am just bi-polar. Yeah that's it.

They look to be an old style, with the Diamond in the drop out...

I counted eleven and wrote nine, so no test, just my stupidity.
Christian, those Comp Pools are not seen very often. A guy is selling a set on ebay at the moment but asking for a decent bit of coin.

The give away is the bottom of the forks, they are not welded - just spot welded.

Hey Jake
I know what Martin paid for his set and I paid twice that for mine...I can say they were the hardest part I have ever searched for...I took one for the team, especially for the rear tire...Like I said they were more than the frame and fork and chrome job put together (almost twice as much)... Th first and last item I'll ever pay silly money for!
I'm offing a yellow one that I found in my search..it's on the bay...

Hey Stu, the DB looks "very nice" (to use a Boratism)! Mr Andrews would be proud! I guess those tyres will never see dirt?
I hope you don't come home one day and the kids are doing skids on the DB down the footpath and measuring how long they are!

Dec 18 2008, 02:24 PM
Hey guys - haven't been around the last week or so - flat out at the mo. Got a new car though. Woo hoo.
Adrian - cool letter mate. You gotta love the Japanese attention to detail and committment. No wonder they die on the job!
Matt - sensational bikes. I really, really like that Patty long. Sweetness.
Stu - fantastic tyres mate. Damn shame you can't ride that Senior Pro now though
I'm with Rohan - lower end DB forks (Taiwanese) not Pro forks (Japanese). The single drop Pro forks always have a serial, have a fully welded cap on the bottom, and the fork tubes are totally sealed - no open drainage/welding gas hole on the bottoms, or in the steerer tube.

It took me a while but i went through all the bikes (haven't finished yet) and picked the ones I liked. I hope everyone does well. One day i'll have a ride in there. I was gonna post the Quad but i didn't think it was worthy. The goose might do ok. Bit of an odd class but. Race bike skatepark build ??
