So years ago I got given this sweet barn find HMX600. All original and thought Id never sell it
But a mate of my was really keen on one, and I already had another 80s BMX, so decided to part with it. He went all out on it, and is now a pristine show/wall hanger.
So this was the other bike I also got given. Was never to sure what it was, thought maybe a Panther, but anyway really liked the E.T/Hooped rear end.
All the parts were pretty rough. But with a quick paint and polish, came up pretty good.
Few years went by and I decided that this didnt cut it and that I really wanted another sweet 80s BMX
This frame and fork set came up or trademe, and after some googling, decided that this was the 80s whip for me80s BMX 06 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr
Chrome frame really reminded me of BMX Bandits. Never heard of "Gobike" - sounds shit.... what ever
Became friends with OldschoolBMX.com.au80s BMX 09 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr

So went with the one of the old bike, kinda like it anyway as its abit odd ball80s BMX 03 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr
80s BMX 02 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr
80s BMX 02 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr
I had rushed to get this ready for leadfoot 2016, but turned out the rear wheel hub had shit itself, plus the bottom bracket wasnt so happy in the new frame.
Just had my 30th the other day, and my misses got me a new NOS gold wheelset, just need a freehub and bottom bracket axle and shes really to rollIll get a photo of it on its new wheels at some stage and put that up to
cheers

I reckon it's sweet. Might be abit heavy, it is a steel frame after all, And wheels are all stainless steel spoked, but gets along pretty good compared to my mtb on the street.

I built this Homocycle a couple of weeks back
Richard aka Big Value Buddy gave me this, very small, KHS road bike. I already had an old 70s road bike that was probably the right size for me,
but the frame was too big for my liking, and after some googling I found out it is worth a few pennies to the right person, anyway........
01 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr
In all her glory. I already had the seat,
I use to ride BMX, and really small mountain bike frames (like 13.5/14 inch frame small) so found I didnt really like big/correct size road frames.
02 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr
I also didnt really like road bars aswel, and to come full hipster circle, flat bars are where its at03 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr04 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr
Got some wider flats pedal, Note how small the frame is by how close the pedal comes to the front wheel05 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr
To give it a slightly more modern/custom look, I ground the rear brake external cable runs off and drilled holes to run it internal06 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr07 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr

20151225_173644 by Hayden Rowe, on FlickrI went to change from 4th to 5th, and it felt abit different, luckily I wasnt in 5th, could have been anywher0.
Carried on to palmy to meet up with a couple of other mates, then noticed my number plate had vibrated off aswel,
taking along with it the number plate light bolts and an indicator bahaha
but made it in the end
20151225_203512 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickrwas lucky enough that a mate staying with us at the hotel had a drill in his boot, only thing was, it was a cord power drill, so got my old man to back it up into the hotel room to put on a number plate we had made out of a house for sale sign and a vivid haha

moonshine bicycle frame?

is that 250 really gonna move that thing? I realise it light and 14000 rpm sounds fun, but it must be zero torque from that thing, you wanta be able to hook an "O" in it surely
I saw you hog burnout photo, but cars have two rear tires to spin up
