Built a new BMX race bike for mt oldest grandson .
This has taken me a while to get to the point of the build .
Started off ordering a new Bombshell Carbon Fiber wheel set.
Then ordered a Factory GT Carbon Fiber frame and forks , along with a set of Speedline carbon fiber cranks .
Over the past month the seat , brakes and all of the other stuff arrived .
Time to build the bloody thing .
I had an old bike carry rack sitting around , so I welded a bracket to a shed post to hold the bike rack . Clamp the frame into the rack and ready for the build .
First thing was to make a special puller tool to fit the crank adapter, then assemble and fit the cranks , rear wheel and chain .
Next was to fit the carbon forks , again I had to machine up a tool to fit the bottom bearing race into place . Starting to look like a race bike .
Time to fit the bars, brakes , front wheel and seat .
Very happy with the end result , 700 gms lighter than Kallum's current GT race bike and with luck I can still cut around 150 gms off the bike weight
