GT COMPE BMX BUILD

Ok so today i made plans to buy my very first bmx bike. Its as the title says a gt compe bmx its a 2006 model which is in good condition i plan over the next few months to build this bad boy up and get some indoor training done and maybe even a race. The bike needs alot of work as you can see its a frame with nothing. i got the frame for a meere €40 which was a bargain in my book. Bike needs forks,brakes,wheels,stem,bottom bracket,handle bars,grips,stem,headset,tyres,gyro,cranks,pedals. So basically all components. As soon as i do something with it i will be sure to keep you guys posted. going to be a nice project as i have never built a bike before always shop bought… So this should be a little journey that i am going to enjoy. Keep an eye on this space.
