GT Tequesta - Still here but slightly revamped and refined from its original build. I thought numerous times about getting rid of it but it's perfect for the job it does, it is built and works fine and I've always had a soft spot for triple triangle frames so this will be staying.
Planet X fork was removed and replaced with a Specialized Direct Drive fork from aformentioned bike recycling enterprise (shout out to Recyke Y' Bike Newcastle). I previously found the sunrise bar and BMX stem combo a little too short given the length of the TT but found a Thomson layback which stretched things out so this now works really well. Finally I added a Wald 137 that had been on my wife's bike.

A long overdue up date. Theres been some shifting around and refining of the fleet and thats going to continue through this year. It got a bit silly with not being able to move around my small garage for bikes and parts so I realised it was time to rationalise.

1. Alpinestars - I split it up and sold the frame, fork, seat post and stem to the pal I bought it off. It didn't last long with him either so god knows where it is now.

2. Orange - I took this apart to sort out as it was rough and needed love. It never went back together in any meaningful way and I sold it locally to a guy who was going to restore it.

During the last year I also bought and sold a tiny Kona Hahanna and a Scott Cheyenne. Both early 90s rigid MTB's, it was just more of the same and the result of boredom so they needed to go.
I also recently acquired a Cannondale road frameset which was destined to become my town bike but after gathering most of the parts, I quickly managed to talk my way out of it so thats now gone back to a frame and fork which will be dropped off at the local bike recycling enterprise.

Now to whats left...

Thread continues to deliver. Looking forward to seeing the next build. Keep up the Stirling work!

You've done it again! Another lovely build, you've got a knack for this!

These ones are 700mm. Think the 750mm are only the aluminium ones.

25.4

Got these a year or two ago and only used them for a month or so on a bike I built before taking them off and selling the frame. Was going to keep these for another build but they've just sat around.

Almost as new. Annoyingly when fitting them to the quill stem on the last bike I managed to scratch part of one of the logos on the front as well as some other more minor scratches. I filled them in with a Sharpie but I've tried to highlight them in the pictures. Aside from that they are super clean.

£50 obo.
Based in Newcastle but willing to post. Alternatively I'll be in London on the 6th July so could bring them down.

Any questions, please let me know. Thanks!

The perfect 2CV dog. Glad you are getting so much use out of it. Old Citroens are an absolute joy (even when they don't always work)

Incredible, it needs it's own off-topic project rundown! Whats it based on? Has a 32 ford look but I'm not too hot on that period of cars. Love the offbeat engine in it too. Nice to see a bit of variety in the previous engine lineup too. A proper hotrod is on the long list of cars to own at some point

Great thread and some proper fun looking bikes. The midnight special has got me thinking about making the move to 650's on my Straggler.

Aside from the bikes, any more info on the rod? Looks like loads of fun!

Excellent! Always enjoyed seeing your builds. Keen to see what the Alu track bike looks like. Did the Panasonic get sold?

Good find with the Drill. I've been making a bit of progress on my garage of late and understand the temptation of getting bits to find that it's all a bit squashed in. I need less stuff as more space isn't an option.

Yoshi looks great on the gixxer. The recent space woes listed above have put a halt to looking at a motorbike for the short term so I'll live vicariously through this thread!

Loads of potential so I'm sure like your other builds this will be great.
Old BMX stem would fit well given the brand's link to BMX. Needs some ET stickers.

Bravo. Really encapsulates what is great about bikes. Would read again.

Absolutely perfect! Bravo!

Sounds like a great quiver. Is the Fiend the Ty Morrow frame they did a few years back? Which Redline do you have? I have an 04 Redline Monocog 26" wheeled single speed mtb but always wanted a Redline race bike. Currently have an old Sunday Third Wave as my actual bmx and then 02/03 T1 Barcode and 00 Standard STA500 frames.

Just read through the whole thread. Was worth the wait, it looks loads of fun. Especially loving the spoon colour scheme. It's got me thinking about other bike/jdm crossovers that could work.

Sounds like you've got a couple of interesting BMXs too. Care to throw up some pictures?

Bike looks class dude. Glad to see its getting plenty of use!

Looks fantastic. Love those red Dia Compes!

Incredible. I'm not usually a fan of the v1 fork but this whole build just works.

@retrobikeguy Nice! Not a fan of white tyres but I love the BMiX inspiration and the rest of the build. How does it ride with the BMX bar?

Yeah this got me too. What a dream!

Awesome thread! Please keep it up.

Cor this is lovely. Can't tell if this is a small frame or if it has bigger wheels. Wouldn't change a thing though.

This looks ace. Reminds me that I should probably throw some mudguards on the alpinestars.

@deerheart cheers!

Yeah, I'd love an Inbred too @Tom13 been keeping my eyes peeled for one too.
