The Bikeguide Barcode build-off thread

[@adam]

Now that the initial build is complete. Perhaps this is the right place for these pics?
Still needs some barcode decals - which are in the mail.

Got this barcode off Gary. I have almost everything for the build just need to send the frame off to s&m to have them drill and tap for gyro tabs.

Almost finished just need brakes cause I'm not crazy like that. The bars do look ridiculous, but they make the bike super rider friendly. In my old age that's a nice compromise when riding.

Those bars are small.

[dude...]

that looks really nice but yeah youll get shit for those bars. apparently its more important to have a bike that looks good in photos than is actually comfortable to ride

I like the BSD Raider bars better in comparison to the Perfect 10s, I think the crossbar is a tad higher or something, what makes them look better. Kinda.

[peggiesmalls]

Maybe cause they are also a little chicago'd.

Royal Blue is definitely the most underrated in BMX.

I few months ago I bought a 2007 MAAS off a member on Museum.

Unfortunately when it arrived the head tube had pierced the box due to minimal packing, causing the bearing seat/lip to bend in.

The previous owner had also been told me the frame was in excellent condition but he failed to mention a poor attempt at shortening the dropouts had happened.
Anyway, I cut my losses and sorted both issues.

The head tube came good with some gentle persuasion.

I re-shaped the dropouts and neatened them up. It currently sits at 13.44". I know I'm going to cop it from all you guys but it feels awesome.

I stripped all the paint back and satin cleared it.

I love the look of the tubing on early Barcodes

[peggiesmalls]

Poo brown codes are nice but dang that's an improvement,still crazy how low the stand over looks to a 14 barcode.
