+10...........go with some Black Peregrine Masters or some blingy 48's

that frame spanned a few era's, was used until 97 or so.... so you need to decide what era you want it set up for. early 90's or later.

also, they were used for both street and flat so you'll need to think that also.

here is one that i had and rode until i cracked it.. its an early one without the gusset under the downtube

i set this up for later 90's street/flat riding, hoffman forks, phatjacks, fatty pegs and 1 pc

The frame is SWEET, but I think the rims need to go...but its your bike ,if you like them, then keep them.

I always like that purple accented Chrome Peregrine BP.
Great looking bike!

Lets see that wall ride pic

I like the rims on certain bikes (ie choppers and customs) but not on that bike.

Now it's your turn, give me suggestions on my 2000 RL. I just posted for help

tico frank · 2009-11-06 10:27am

I REALLY appreciate all the input guy's. I personally like the late 90's style, kinda the era of brian p's bike. If I don't use the peregrine 95's on this build I have no idea if they will ever get used.

jayoldmanbmx · 2009-11-06 10:28am

i have to agree sweeeet frame but lose the wheels

tico frank · 2009-11-06 10:33am

I think if the spokes weren't radial laced you guys would love the 95 spokes. Kinda like timo's home made 95's on his B1.

I think you're absolutely right.

Those wheels could be really cool looking. Timo's wheel build is a great story and a cool final result. Every time I see radial lacing, It conjures thoughts of Walgoose..... Maybe look into having them re-laced in 3 or 4 cross. Just a thought. Either way... Keep going on this one. Lets see how much peregrine stuff you can get on this thing.

tico frank · 2009-11-06 10:45am

I'm all into to the cross lace. I have never laced any wheels before so It might be best left to a PRO.

OLDSCHOOLBMXER67 · 2009-11-06 11:01am

i have these NOS parts that would look killer on your ride. peregrine stem,9/16 pedals and 48 hole fereecoaster.

oldschoolflatlander · 2009-11-06 11:31am

I LIKE the wheels!I remember when they came out with those.I thought,holy sh!t those are cool!They did that way before anyone.I always thought,too,that those wheels would look so rad when your flyin down the street hoppin curbs and stuff.I imagined they'd look like chrome discs going fast as hell. KEEP EM. Paul

+1 save the hundred spoke rims for a lowrider

tico frank · 2009-11-06 11:43am

I think I will keep the 95's but get them relaced in a different look.

Brian P · 2009-11-06 11:49am

i dont personally remember anyone running those multi spokers, i personally thought they were more for show not function, as are the peregrine wheels with 16 bladed spokes laced in a maltese cross fashion...

but frank, if you like them and want something different on there, keep em on

jay brand · 2009-11-06 11:53am

I would love to see them relaced, but I bet it will be hell. I think there might be issues with the spoke allignment because of how close the holes are drilled in the hubs. I only knew one person who had them years ago and after a year of semi heavy riding the rear rim started to split in half right down the center through the holes for the spokes. I guess there are too many holes in them to hold up to extended abuse.

pic below of southerncrossup from ozbmx's clp, he used the 95's too. they look better once the whole bike is built up IMO.

and mine so far...

tico frank · 2009-11-06 3:02pm

Wow nice bikes, I do think the 95's look better when it is built up.

BTW. When I bought this frame and fork it came with the exact same seat post as the one southerncrossup has. Some kalloy seatpost. Weird

heathcliff · 2009-11-06 8:32pm

that is weird. what have you got planned for the rest of the components bro?

tico frank · 2009-11-06 8:58pm

To be quite honest I was looking at building something like southerncrossup's bike but seeing he already has one I might have to rethink it. hmmm

huh?

dude, if you have a build vision, do it.... just because someone has a similar build to what you were planning, you may change you thoughts???

then you wont be completely happy.... go with your original plan
