It's been a while since I've posted pics of my collection.
I've been snapping some pics this past week and have posted a bunch of pics on Flickr.
I thought you guys might like to check 'em out.
Still adding more categories, so there are more pics to come.

Here is the link... CLICK HERE!

This one is built to be a rider.
Although I may have to swap for some bigger bars (that's why I left the brake cable a bit long). I may also swap out the seat for a Elina Super Pro (quilted leather!).

The frameset was restored and powdercoated.
Everthing else is either NOS or new.
The yellow is actually a bit darker than it appears in these pics. Reducing the file sizes kinda washed out the yellow color.

To help save the frame from abuse, I used some of my HelixBMX Dropout Savers and I even made a set of Brake Bridge Savers. These prevent the small Dia-Compe washers from digging into the powdercoat.
