Basically my teenage bike: CW ZX f/f, 180mm Flights, XC-II pedals, CW straight post, Kashimax Aero, 44t Flight chainwheel, Izumi chain, Suntour freewheel, Suzue sealed hubs with Araya 7X rims, 2.125 and 1.75 Comp III tires, DK XL stem, mid-size Hutch 2-in-1, Tioga Beartrap headset, Forklifter race bars, UniTron grips, DK seatpost clamp, MX-901 with Tech 5 lever, Slic-Cable and Mathauser pads. Everything chrome or silver except tires, grips, seat and pedal cages, which would be black. I have no plans to build this bike, at least not anytime soon.

I've got everything waiting, just need to find that Ozone f&f. I know, I know ... good luck.

I also wouldnt mind having the bike back I had when I first started freestyling. It was a 1985 GT Pro World Tour. White with lavendar skyways and matching parts. Sweet.

"so....do you have any of them parts to start building this bike up????"

I wish!!! LOL. Nope, just wishful thinking here. Oh, and then I log on today and see that someone has a NOS chrome/teal master (still in the box) for sale. UGH! That's cool though, I'm just waiting patiently for that new Haro retro freestyler. That will be my "retirement bike" (as someone so eloquently put it on another thread, lol)
oldfreestyler
Yea, I liked lavendar bitd as well. A friend of mine had a chrome Trick Star w/lavendar parts. It looked great.
oldfreestyler
I've been reading some of builds u guys would do. Great stuff! Can u imagine what they would bring on ebay?!
Bedlam Bikes
I've pretty much built my ultimate build already.

The only thing I need to change is the wheels.
I need chrome plated Araya 7X's and a Suntour 48 spoke coaster brake rear hub... I would also put a Hutch Hub on the front of the bike.

I already have the white spokes waiting... and the tires have already been changed to NOS Haro's.

Oh - and Candy red FS cages for the Hutch pedals.
