I went to North Harbour Yesterday, that second jump gives me the willies. And I get seasick on the last straight.

lol in the last two months Ive been going back Ive seen about 4 kids stack it on the first double up , a kid fly over the 2nd n land on the wrong transition , bounce and literally fly to the bottom on the other side , and another kid tee bag himself cause his feet slipped out on the 2nd n got the back of his legs caught up in the pedals , kinda why im not doing any jumps there until Ive had practice

I dont have the speed to jump it. That part of the track is quite slow, 5/6kph slower than WTK. I measuered the gap at 8mtrs so a big one. It started to manual it ok though but not sure how it would work out in a race.

dave... 3 super awesome rides, unreal.  i don't reckon you should paint the rl22 though!  is that original finish/decals, or has paint been stripped at some stage?

this chrome rl22 is one of my faves...

i'll dig around for a repro peregrine chainwheel i've got somewhere for your haro... is that what came on the team models? also, did you get on to ultraHIVE?  if you do an order, i'll add some on.  i need a few of his at the mo.

anyone have any white gyro cables?  the street styler has had a full changeup... trying to make it a more practical rider.  i'll post pics at some stage.

been heading down to vic park at 6.30am every morning before work... awesome having the whole park to yourself... i don't feel like such a clown when i bail

Cheers Heath..

I dont think its original in chrome, can see white paint in the headtube & BB
I kinda unsure about the painting  it, as its a stunning frame in chrome with all the tube bends, & really nice welds

Yea the Team Model Sport's came with a Peregrine Chainwheel.. mine has one, just completly covered in gold spray paint tho

Haven't got onto ultraHIVE yet.. but he does have some that I am after.. so will let you know when I do

I'm looking at moving some parts I have had laying around for some time, and I want to offer them to fellow NZ'ers before I offer them to the wider collecting community. I've got the following:

1981 GT Mini Frameset
1983 GT Mini handlebars (with A'me Mini grips)
NOS Araya 1 1/8 rims (polished silver) and 4 x Rainbow logo Comp III 1 1/8 tires (NOS)
Dia Compe MX900 mint front caliper in silver (I call mit mint because it is a NOS caliper which appears to have a used Weinman adjuster on it)
NOS Dia Compe brake pads (5 pairs)
Haro Circuit Board number plate
A'me tri grips in black (mint)
NOS Sugino 44 tooth chainwheel in red
4 NOS Koolstop Continental gray brake pads
blue knockoff two piece seatclamp (Dia Compe two piece style)

If anyone is interested in any of these items, email me at axsyscnc@ihug.co.nz for photos etc

anyone popping up the the harbour track today , they got some races on

Really? I thought it was the Paeroa NQM this weekend.

went to the wtk track today for the first time , i see what u mean by the starting ramps more laid back into the first jump , if it wasnt mostly gravel n was flat like harbours it'd be perfect , harbours jumps are a bit big lol

i didnt get there till after 12 , was on the mx1002 lol , let a few of the little guys have a go around the park

deal pending on the skyway.

bought some stuff from danscomp on friday morning - cable hanger, chain, freewheel etc - and it arrived this morning.  4 days door to door.  unreal.

MX900 and Haro plate are sold pending payment

Sugino Chainwheel and Dia Compe Pads are sold pending payment

I'll back Dave up on that, it will be a great day. Will be good to meet some of the Old Schoolers off this site too

Thats a shame Greg, it is fun and good times to be had by all. Maybe Kapiti in February will be a bit closer for you.

Greg, just get on the ferry with your bike and i can pick you up and stay at mine..last year we had about 8 old schoolers crash at my place..and we sat up and watched bmx videos from the worlds in 85 and 89!! good times
