I really need to finish my Strike Zone. That's the first chrome Hot Streak I've seen. Nice!

Bumpin this.. should be gettin mine in the mail today! Thanks John!
you almost didnt get it
Story time??
Well.... First wasnt sure if id be able to sell my bike to buy his DB. So thank god I sold my bike and worked out a deal with John on the bike before he sold it. Well John shipped it and I waited all day the day it was supposed to arrive. It got a bit late and I tracked the package, which I had been doing all day. When I checked it around 6 p.m it said delivered...
I had no bike!! So I called p.o 800 # they said yes it was delivered at 4:30 to your addy. I was pissed, I knew my bike had gone to the wrong house!! I get a call from my local p.o and they say are you sure you didnt get it and started to say that the mail carrier remembers dropping it at my house blah, blah.. bullshit, I didnt get it. So then I get another call back bout 15 mins later and they say they may have dropped it off at a different house with my same number addy just a different street. I drive over to the next street same number as mine, pull up and a kid opens the door and I see my Box!
Thank god I found it, they said it was a sub carrier that day and she made a mistake... needless to say I was pissed!!!! Thats why John says I almost didnt get it. Love the bike John.... thanks again!
My first bmx bike was a Huffy Pro Thunder.... I was a fan ever since.

Almost done.. Just waiting on the pads like the last build..
They should be shipped by now or close to it.. That and I'm gonna switch out the chainring when it gets here.. Then it'll be finished and ready to cruise the hood..
My LBS is owned by this old school man, hella cool, and I wanna cruise it down there and let him check it out too.. They're closed on Tuesday's, but have a big ol' cement pad to showcase bikes by the roadside, so I'm gonna post it up in front of his shop, and email him the pics.. Just to see what he says.. ![]()

I think a DB Turbo might be the most beautiful bike in the world.

TURBOs Rule, best looking' OS ride, right out of the box!
@ Fresh- Thats cool, l like the tires on there, looks tuff! Diggin' the old with new school feel. Did u have those decals custom made?
@ Juan - he usually takes awhile to answer, it took me a couple of emails before he responded as well. Did u get another Turbo? LOL Oh boy!

Thanks Bud.... I hope so.
Do you guys think doing a Turbo in full chrome would look too Silver Streak alike???... I'm in the process of restoring a set, and I'm debating if I should do it like Kurt's in White or if I should just stick to the original plan ![]()

Re: DIAMONDBACK FANATICS
Turbos look sweet no matter how they're done.. I like my builds with a twist..
And the decals on this build are the correct ones for it being a '78.. ![]()
