Tried to get as close as possible to my race bike BITD. The biggest difference is the cranks and the color. Can’t really see me dropping the coin for a set of 2nd gen Profiles and the color doesn’t bother me. Other than that it is real close. The best part about this build was the look on my parent’s faces when they saw the bike. We ended up talking about BMX for the next hour or so. The bike is a little dusty from the track. Really wanted to ride it hard (jumping and the sort) but the cracked bars had me just a tad worried.
Break down:

1984 Powerlite Pro 100%OG
P-Lite pro bars OG to the bike (they are cracked down by the clamping area)
6 bolt MCS stem
Beartrap headset OG to the bike
Ame tri's (new school)
MX 1000's OG to the bike
P-Lite seat post OG to the bike
Tuff-Neck seat post clamp (mine from BITD)
Kash seat (really want to switch this out for an Elina)
XC-2 pedals
Tioga cranks and BB (these came off my 09)
Sugino Power disk witha Tuff-Neck chainwheel
Suzue hubs
Araya 7X's
Toiga Comp 3's blue green label 20x1.75 f&r
P-Lite pad set (re-pop please be gentel)
Izume chain
Shamino free wheel (new school)
My OG state plate

Looks awesome...Glad you took it straight to the track too..Must have felt great (although bars are a bit of a worry!)

Awesome! I love replica builds when it's of your own childhood bike. And you hit the dirt with it already. That is what it's all about right there.

I like Powerlites and yours is no exception.

I like personal replicas too.

Enjoy it and never tempt yourself to part with it.
