Has anyone got any pics of their GHP renovations. Also a breakdown of parts, particularly the 83 - 84 bikes. Any decals would be snapped up too!!!
Kerry
Hey Subwax. Ive seen you ask for peoples pics in other threads of their restorations. Have you looked in the museum? Im not being a smartazz but with as many members here , not all are looking at the same time. They have a parts breakdown too.

Somebody's got a GHP web page too. Maybe check the ultimate links section too.
subwax
Kerry - I have checked in the museum first, however there aren't many GHP's there, and none of the model I am looking for. That's been the case for the Redline Carrera's too - have a look yourself.

Larrys - I have had a look for the link but cant find it.
subwax
Anyway - why cant I ask people to show off if they want to - if you dont like it, man - dont read my thread!!!
Kerry
Dude slow your roll very quickly. I just got done telling you I wasn't being a smartass. Of course you can ask for pics but your semi new and I was just telling you the deal. There isnt a flock of carreras or ghp's around.

My GHP mini resto will be up soon.

agree with others ... they were just trying to be helpful, bro.

Don't take it any other way.

There are two regular GHP's in the museum and one mini.

The www.GHPBMX.com website is also helpful for photos, background interviews with Mr. Hill himself ... and some nice old advertisements to check out.

Those two resources are the reason I bought my GHP mini on the bay ... which was mistakenly listed as a "diamondback mini race bike".

What kind are you looking for info on?

Thanks for your help, guys. When I get my bikes built, I will submit pics to the museum so that others like me wont have to "slow my roll very quickly".

Hey Subwax,

in my oldschool bmx galleries there are pictures from my GHP built. You can check here:

www.singlespeedshop.com

and then click on the right the oldschool section.

Cheers,

Kent

Hey Kent,

That exactly the style that I want to build mine. Can you send me a component list. Also, do you know where I can get the decals from?
kent
Hi Subwax,

there is a partslist on my site, at the topbar 'Teile', that's the German word for parts.
Hope this helps, if not, drop me a line and i will send it translated.

Early decals, huh !
I am so happy that this f/f set had it's originals. Sometimes one or two stickers pop off on the bay and they go for big dollars.
Never seen a complete set.

But i think someone has made repros of these, ask once more here...

Cheers,

Kent

Anyone got a set of GHP stickers for an 84 bike - similar to the pics above. Thanks.
loopy
Subwax, try getting on www.os-bmx.com, look for member ms4972. He has the frame and fork stickers, and I'm sending him my headtube sticker so he can make those up too. He also has a GHP pro long complete bike and a GHP 24 complete bike for sale. I believe they are both 1984. I wanted to buy them, but I already have 2 GHP's, so I bought his pink Hutch Hollywood.
subwax
Excellent - thanks very much, loopy - I appreciate it.

VEY NICE!!!

What kind of crank and spider?
kent
They are 2 pc Bullseye cranks with the matching spider.
Here is a pic with a actual Profile BMX chainwheel, i think this rocks !

loopy
Those are nice!!! They kind of have that old Profile look to them. All this GHP talk makes me want to ride mine. Too bad it's all in pieces to get rechromed. . But she's been with me since 83, so I need to treat her right. Make her shine again!!!
