1981 Speedwell Sting MKII

My second kid's BMX upgrade..

NOS Frame, Akisu Cr-mo fork.  (I got this as a whole mint survivor bike, and I built up a 1979 Mongoose with all the parts. It's in the museum)  The frame is identical to a Supermax and Maxi.  It even has the 2 little holes in the head tube to put on the star badge..

Star-x mags, made in Italy.  Sugino/Takagi cranks/spider

I wanted to build an old schooler with a similar flavour as my first Girl's Hotfoot, but I didn't want them to look like each other. 

My only directive was that it had to have some 'white parts'.  OK then..

She simply loves it!
