Larock 61 Posted September 1, 2020 Just finished this one up tonight. Mark Darcy gave me this plate years ago, it is one of his original plates. I found it in a stack of stuff in my office & had to build it! 1979 Powerlite built with mostly original finishes, I added the downtube decals. Great original paint on the frame & fork. Powerbend handlebars mounted to a 6 bolt MCS stem, vinyl pads, Shimano Tourney brake, lever & cable guides, Koolstop brake pads, fluted alloy seat post, Suntour seat clamp, Grand Prix saddle, Takagi Tourney cranks, KKT rat traps, Black low/high flange Sunshine hubs, Araya 7Cs, Suntour Maeda freewheel & Cheng Shin C-183 fat skinny tires. Enjoy! I will change the grips and seat clamp when I find something more to my liking. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reilley1 351 Posted September 1, 2020 Perfect The first "true" BMX 3 piece crankset adds to the bike. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. The color is consistent throughout. If they were sun faded they wouldn't be evenly colored all the way around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
