Hello "

Thank's sending me a email "

I don't mine Donated "

Question is to you !

What are you Actually looking for ......
nvmyslowride
I think so far the hardest thing im finding is trying to get a few sets of nice 20'' complete 36 spoke wheels. a few offered cranks and frames, nothing on wheels. odds and ends are easy to get. unless I just wait til paypal builds up then I will order a few sets of complete cheaper sun type wheels from one of our site supporters who advertise here.

Anything is excepted as donations, and we will just piece what I got.

thanks

Okay Nick, here is what I'm proposing on the DK Fury (and just so everyone knows, the flash is washing the color out in the pics above - the bike is a medium green - very closed to "anodized green")

These grips (translucent green ODI Attack Longnecks):
http://www.porkchopbmx.com/ODI-BMX-Attack-...RODF01LNN13.htm

These pedals - Snafu concave in Dark Green:
http://www.porkchopbmx.com/SNAFU-BMX-Conca...018-03-1002.htm

This lever - Tektro with anodized green:
http://www.porkchopbmx.com/Tektro-BMX-brak...IM375A-RH13.htm

Swap out the chainwheel with a power disk/chainring combo with these parts:

Green anodized chainring bolts:
http://www.porkchopbmx.com/Aluminum-alloy-...m?categoryId=-1

Silver or Black 44T aluminum chainring (color depends on what color Nick is going to paint the NOS powerdisc with shelf wear I'm also sending):
http://www.porkchopbmx.com/Sugino-Tuf-Neck...MSPR-AT-442.htm
http://www.porkchopbmx.com/Sugino-Tuf-Neck...MSPR-AT-446.htm

And then, to lighten things up a bit, a nickel chain (Nick, the chainrings can take a 3/32" - double check the freewheel and confirm it can take 3/32" as well):
http://www.porkchopbmx.com/KMC-Z610HX-Drop...-CHKMZ610HX.htm

And to give it retro feel, a set of these pads:
http://www.porkchopbmx.com/FLITE-3-Piece-N...TE-PB-BLACK.htm

Feedback appreciated smile.gif

You need to get to disassembling and cleaning! laugh.gif

I'll post up some pics shortly - about to start polishing this power disk (I decided to go ahead and strip and polish it - then I'll bolt it to a black chainring with the green bolts.... then the nickel chain will really set it off.

Let me know if that freewheel is a 3/32" or 1/8" so I send the right chain (or I can just send a new freewheel if that one is wonky).

If you guys notice a kid, lerking around a track or a shop, and you know his parents really dont have the $ to buy him a bike, keep him in mind. someone who already does not have one, and loves racing or freestyle. Someone totally legit and young. You never know, we could have the next Woody or Rick M lerking around the tracks or skatepark just waiting for his chance.

When I had it built it up it was done with all black parts and looked sick.

I have a set of wheels in black with black hubs, but don't know if I'm ready to part with those yet. It's always good to have a spare set sitting around. I never know when my old arse is going to pull a super-case and taco my rear wheel. I've done it before.
nvmyslowride
IM SURE WE WILL FIND SOMETHING, WISH SINZ WOULD SEND ME A SET OF THERE BLACK WHEELS!!!
Brandon002
also, the frame is Red Anodized... so any red ano parts would look sick on it as well.
nvmyslowride
HERE IS THE NEWEST PROJECT FOR THE GIVEAWAY.

NOS RED HYPER FROM BRANDON

AND I JUST GOT TODAY A SET OF BEAUTIFUL BLACK LIKE NEW FLIGHTS, AND SOME BEAUTIFUL REDLINE PEDALS FROM BRAD SHIMMIN. VERY BEAUTIFUL STUFF. THIS BIKE IS GOING TO BE SWEET AND SEXY.

NOW NEEDED ALL BLACK AND RED PARTS FOR THIS BUILD.










nvmyslowride
I sent letters to every local bike shop, newspaper and tv station on this event. Even like 50 big companys. maybe some good stuff will turn up at my door step to go with the other wonderful items i got so far. So far we will have 2 race bikes.


My buddy has a beautiful Dyno he got when he was a kid in the late 80's- early 90's. rode it once and stored it. Im trying to get off him, but he wants $100 complete, so i need some paypal donations. Would be a great freestyle bike for a kid.
nvmyslowride
DONATIONS could be bought at www.goodtimessuperstore.com OR www.porkchopbmx.com also!!!
nvmyslowride
BEFORE PICTURES.........

I am also going to replace most of the bolts with chrome or black to add to the look, so you dont see rusty bolt heads....

















nvmyslowride
Just got my shipment of donations from Justin @ porkchopbmx. Boy is that guy fast!!!!

The Dk will be mixxed with new school and old school for a sweet race bike. As soon as i get my powder back from shawn, and My decals and stuff from DK. cleaning and final assm will be done and bike 1 will be complete.

Thanks Rick for the bike, and thanks justin for the Parts. Everything looks wonderful!!!!
nvmyslowride
I also got a hoffman TAJ frame and fork donated, and my brother just donated a 1984 chrome redline frame and fork. Both have mild tube dents and damge in the back. These would be super bikes, maybe the frame DR would be up for donating some time to fix these, then maybe i can get them powder coated???? Both local donations, that i Just want made super nice if going to a kid in need,

Those are also dope looking frames,

Wow this donation stuff is hard, Putting the bikes together is easy,lol


And remember paypal donations are excepted to buy the stuff we dont get. Even if you have $2.46 left in your account, if 50 people did that, thats $100+.

PAYPAL - a100dork3@yahoo.com
nvmyslowride
unsure.gif sure been quite in here also!!!
nvmyslowride
Finally getting some emails back from companies that are seeing this! Fingers crossed!! lets see how many kids we can make happy!!!


Thanks

Nick


Also. VINTAGE MEMBERS I need you to ask around your local shops and tracks to see if you can find a deserving kid who really wants to race or freestyle. I dont want to upgrade there bike, someone who does not have a bike at all. Maybe there has been that special kid helping around your track or shop taking alot on intrest. Someone who shows potental in the sport. Someone whos parents cant seem to afford to get them what they need. Maybe BIG BROTHERS, BIG SISTERS, united way, or something like that. Everyone do some diggin and give me your honest feedback, and lets see what we can do to make this special.
nvmyslowride
UPDATE....

Out in the garage, cleaning and redoing BB. Going to need new bearings, so I will go get some tommorrow. Going to add Porkchops new disk, clean up the rest of the frame. Coming along real good. This is the DK fury frame.









cleaned the spindle, and parts, going to get new bearings, added new disk, very cool and a 1/3 of the weight of the DK one ( the whole bottom bracket with new alum disk weighs near the same as the DK only disk) , working on wheels now, and waiting on powder.

SORRY ABOUT THE PICS, ITS RAINING HERE AND THE INSIDE OF THE GARAGE IS HARD TO TAKE PICS OF.
nvmyslowride
Sounds like we may have a haro master with bashguard on the way also. And just got another email about a GT thats complete. This could be a good week!

Crisco its almost ready for tuff time!!!
nvmyslowride
JUST GOT SOME EMAILS ON A HYPER F/F OLDER STYLE. AND SOME MINI STUFF, WHICH I HAVE WHEELS TO DONATE. SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS GOING TO TAKE OFF.
dan restro
i have put the word about ,so fingers crossed.
nvmyslowride
I have a feeling we are going to be way short on wheels, like 36 spoke 20'' of any sort... and cranks.... only got 1 set set aside for that hyper boxter alum frame thats next on the build list!!!
nvmyslowride
RICK SAID HE WOULD DONATE A BRAND NEW FLAT BLACK AND RED DECAL 125R CRUSIER.

The frame is a 20.5 125R cruiser.
27.0 seat post. NEEDED
25" cruiser fork NEEDED.
24" wheels NEEDED
24 x 1.75 tires. Canti brakes NEEDED
Integrated head tube (head set). NEEDED
Euro bb and cranks NEEDED

That should be the info needed to get the correct parts


THIS WILL BE A VERY SWEET BIKE.....




It may come down to a weekend, I may very well need some help building bikes in the garage and cleaning...
nvmyslowride
MEDIA....


Hi Nick!

Laura with the Dispatch/Argus. Thanks for your e-mail! I'm going to put together a story about this today. Whenever you have a chance today, I'd like to talk to you for 15-20 mins., over the phone would be fine, just about why you set up this bike drive -- if you could call it that? -- is interesting and important, what made you decide to do it, etc., and if I could set up a photo of you and some bikes, or you, Rick and some bikes that would be wonderful, too. We'd send a photographer out to take the shot.


Hopefully this brings in alot of donations, exc....


VERY SHORT ON WHEELS, AND CRANKS......
