Sorry Martin.. already went through my decal totes and all I could find is a full bag of Black/white trim zeroes and a bag of white/black trim sixes... 
Check out the ESP site B. Marty E did have some old stock of decals he was selling. I got mine from his old stock when I bought one of his new school stems.
No worries Juan. I ended up going with what I had. Updated photos but the sun is crappy today so will need to redo some:

Preview of the next bike. Still fine tuning.
1984 1st generation Redline Prostyler with an RL Osborn flavour. Need to wait for the morning sun to shoot more.

Awesome Martin. It's great coming here and seeing a new bike every few days.
I agree Adam, its a breath of fresh air, keep up the cracking work Martin!

yeah! I'm lovin' that one. Top notch build.
Looking good Martin. Any plans for a group shots, or not enough room?
A couple of first impressions of Barcelona. It's a very bike friendly place and anyone who watches the freestyle BMX DVDs will know how tolerant people here are of BMXers and skaters. Of course with the good comes the bad and I saw a hipster on his fixie doing skids on the gravel yesterday. Yeah real difficult when you are practically doing a Vander roll just to get the weight off the back wheel...
Twin top tube anyone?
Just down the lane from my apartment.

Cool guys. It's a lot of fun that's for sure.
No James, nowhere near enough room for good shots. That's why I setup my site this way so you could see everything in one hit:

Just got back from the bike shop to build a set of wheels. Dropped these NOS hubs off:

ha i dropped some wheels off to be built too. Mine were steel rims and Shimano coasterbrake MX hubs though! 
Holy crap nice hubs Martin!!!
Nothing wrong with steelies and shimano MX hubs Glenno!

Always loves the white TUFF's with the alloy flanges. Very nice.
Brings a whole new meaning to the word spraybomb. Even the lock is painted the same.
Seems the habit runs in the family but who taught who?
This is the home of Gaudi, so in comparison the bikes appear a bit conservative.
I was originally going to ask you if it was street art.

That's nuts.
Photos of the Phaze 1 done but need to redo much of it as it's a cloudy and rainy day in Hongkers today. Also need to add the parts list. Needs Flash on a PC:

at that price, waza should sell up. LOL
Think the bidders might have been helping themselves to a few beers as well. Probably all in the same room anyway.
Wasn't feeling the work thing today so went for a wander. Ended up at FC Barcelona's stadium. Quite busy and more so as they are the 2011 champions.
More twin top tube frames and this time with springs!
I'm sure if I watched enough of BMX videos from the last few years I would find a few people giving this area a quick session.

smick stuff so bloody crisp.
I'm back at work on Tuesday so taking a break from bike building (for a few days). I still have a truck load to get through. Last preview for awhile - all NOS:
I'm not saying this just because I'm biased but these finishes are by far the best I've seen on any bike.

Can't wait to see this latest batch Martin. I do love those finishes on the CWs. The blue looks amazing. I love the Quad. Race bike I guess?
You mean the CWs Glenn? No, not race bikes but maybe one day.
I got a place right on Narrabeen Beach in Sydney that I'll be moving back to (when I move back). It's here:
My favourite beach in Sydney. No tourists.
The plan is for my wife and I to use the CWs as beach cruisers and to ride to the local shops and cafes. They have the best pies in Sydney just down the road. People will wonder what the old couple are doing riding on those super shiny bikes. We'll never sell those bikes and will put them to a lot of use in coming years.
I can't wait to move back! (Still don't know when that is though).

sounds like a great plan..
Really nice part of Sydney mate. My grand parents had a house on DeeWhy Plateau overlooking Long Reef. I would love to still live there! For those that don't know, long reef is the next beach up from that pic.
Look forward to meeting up one day too.

Looks like a nice part of the world Martin.
I still have no idea where I want to have a base. Well actually I do, it's just there's about half a dozen different places. The 360 acres for sale on Kauai would be perfect. Anyone have USD67 million?

Yep, the northern beaches are super nice. Makes me want to move back sooner rather than later.
BBQ and bikes at my place when I'm back for sure. Everybody invited!

I spent a lot of Sundays during the mid 70's skateboarding around DeeWhy, Collaroy and Narrabeen. Best times of my life. I love it there.

How far away are you from there now Glenn?
Hervey bay is 1500k's away mate. My dad is still in Castle Hill out west.
It's funny because where I live now is on a hill overlooking the town and beach. It must of had an affect on me.!

No worries! We're going to have a permanent bike room and also a permanent guest room. You're welcome to stay whenever you want.
Thanks mate. Appreciate that a lot.
It's going to take awhile but remember this?
All the lounge room shots will be cleaned up so that the backgrounds are removed. Beats doing only 4 bikes a year in a studio.
