Sick bike dude.

Better pics have been posted.

This is the condition of this bike after a year in my basement. Like I said in my previous post I'd like to try to get her back. I am bummed about the condition of the sticker/ decals but that's what 22 years of abuse will do to a bike. I wish there was some way I could get a hold of some new ones but that's a pipe dream, There is no way I'd ever get new stickers for a bike that's 22 years old...

When I bought this bike in 1994 other than the Bully frame, fork, sprocket, and seat post it had 48 spoke Peregrine rims, Odyssey Triple Trap pedals, Haro Group 1 goose neck, Haro Knee Saver handle bars, Mushroom grips (with donuts), Odyssey gyro, Dia-Compe Pit Bull brakes, GT freestyle tires, and a Kashmax seat, and GT front and rear pegs.

So the bike has been pulled out of the basement and is now ready for me to do something with it. But as I sit looking at it I can't figure out where to start. I really want to ride it so I started thinking maybe I should just fix it up enough to ride it for now. Over the years I have lost my stockpile of BMX parts and now I have nothing left but whats on the bike. The rims are crap, Pacific (el-cheapo Wal-Mart bike stuff) and I hate them. The rear brakes are Dia-Compe Bull Dogs, I'll probably keep those. The brake lines are junk. the front brakes are MX (?) came off a unknown bike I got from a scrap guy. The gooseneck is ACS BMX and I don't like it. My brother has the Haro Group 1 gooseneck that came on the bike when I bought it but he's using it for his '96 GT Vertigo. (I gave him that bike) The handle bars are Dave Mira Slim Bars (so I was told) but I don't think they really are. Either way I don't like them. It has some mis-matched dirt tires on it which I also hate. And a Haro Dave Mira padded seat which I also don't like... So really other than the original Bully parts I hate everything else. LOL. Problem is I have NO parts to change them out with.

So what do you think? Should I just run what I got until I get different stuff or should I just strip it and prep it for when I can afford to get replacement stuff?

...but I wanna ride.

Good advice.

THE BULLY LIVES!!!

I took a little time this morning and fixed a few of the odds and end things that had gone to shit over the last few years.

Here's some pics...

This was the condition of my rear brake cable.

So I took everything off.

And re-did it nicely.

I went with these Falcon brake levers.

Took off the front brakes.

And re-did that one too.

I decided to ditch the no-name fake Haro Slim Bars and go with a pair of '96 GT Vertigo bars.

When I was changing the tube in the tire I found this. So I put a tire patch on the inside to prevent it from pinching the tube. The need for a new tire just increased 10 fold.

But after all was done the bike was ride-able and that made me very happy!

such a nice bike (and very rare) in such a  poor condition why?

Because I have ridden the crap out of it since 1994.

I have future plans of a full restoration but I gotta finish my beater bike first.

I do enjoy this bike VERY much. It is a great bike to ride. I learned most of the tricks I use to be able to do on this bike. (That accounts for most of the scuff marks on it) Even after I restore the bike I will still ride it, maybe not as hard as I have in the past but IMO it would be a shame to put it on a shelf. To me this is a beautiful bike and I want people to see it and appreciate it like I do. I am building another bike to beat on when I feel the need.

Did some work on the rear wheel. Also threw on a new tire and tube.

ya did good job keep it up... don't worry what other say about what you doing. those bike are for ridden not for carpet queen I would not doing full restore I would keep her og

These tickers are available, not sure it these are what you want?
