Yo, new guy here. This is for my first build since the old Mongoose BMX (RIP) when I was 15. Seriously craving the freedom and mobility now and just neeeed to get on the road. Tubes driving me mad. Bike needs the following in order to take its maiden voyage and for me to become one with it. Spent a lot of time with my finger on the pulse but keep missing out on what I need so thought I’d post my shopping list for you friendly folks. v.short on dough. Live in SW1 and often at GF’s in W4. Don’t mind travelling around central LDN a bit on the boris bike. Will accept posted items haha.
19t 1/8 Cog , reasonable condition…
MKS Sylvan Track Pedals + some steel Clips and good quality straps that won’t stretch. (was gonna go double but just don’t think I’ll be able to afford it?)… I was thinking around the 25ish mark for the lot. Don’t mind having to get them separately, or if battered, as long as threads and axles or whatever you call those bits are smooth.
Any spare Tubs you got lying around? Got these 32/40h Airlites on Fiammes (yellow front red rear) and they’re all I’ve got (canne afford clinchers atm) so Im gonna go tubular. But Tubs are expensiiiiiive?!?
front light that will get me noticed.
If you got anything it'd mean the world.
Domo Arigatooo everyone!
