    I’m really glad to see that you went with all the Bullseye parts ( I’m a big fan ) because they are so pricey. I really think you nailed the look of this bike ! I’ve been working on a Bullseye tribute bike with my 06’ GT power series 24” in white with blue accents and I’ve taken some hints from you as far as if you have white you want to merge into blue and vice versa….anyway keep up the content I enjoy watching…..peace

      I think my next build will be a GT Eddie Fiola tribute bike. I just got the Pro Performer in that funky multicolor paint scheme and Iʻm gonna paint it yellow to match what he rode back in the day.🤙🏻

    Threaded bottom brackets that are hard to get on are sometimes because the paint gets in the threads. If the bb cup doesn't thread in easily, take the bike to a local bike shop that has the tools for thread chasing. Call them ask if they have a thread chaser for Euro bb, and if so how much it will cost. It's usually around $20 to $30. I got one frame done for $15. The edge of the bb shell might also need to be faced. More bike shops will have chasing tools than facing tools. Facing the shell will cost more. It's usually only necessary on higher end bikes, but if the fabricator did a really bad job it might be necessary. That bike is awesome! Cheers!

      That's why I like Sunday bike frames, they do post welding/ painting machining to the head set & bottom bracket, & can't beat ANY BIKE that has a lifetime warranty! 💯👍

      Thanks man! Yes, those are some custom stickers for the cranks that I got off of eBay. Just do a search on eBay for Redline Flight Crank Stickers and they should pop up. They arenʻt cheap though. I think I paid like $10 plus another $5 for shipping? Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏻

      I am building a Floval Flyer and may put Redline cranks on it but with the custom stickers you mentioned. I have been out of the BMX scene since I was a teenager, so I am not too familiar with all the new products available, but was happy to see some old school parts, like redline flight cranks are still available....never could afford them, lol....but like you said, I got grown up money now, LOL.....many Mahalos for what you guys do.

    Do you need to add grease to the headset area when building a bike?

    • @cruisinginthe808
      @cruisinginthe808  Рік тому

      For this type of headset where itʻs integrated, you donʻt really need to since the bearings are all sealed. The just sort of sit on the top and bottom of the headset. If you had the regular old school cup headset, then yes, I would put grease in there first. Thanks for that comment and I hope that helped! Thanks for watching! 🤙🏻

    The only thing is, I noticed that the black stem bolts look like they're already getting some of that Hawaii rust. Maybe stainless steel? or TITANIUM !!!?🤩🤑💲Time to smash some more cans.

      Good eyes! Yep, if it’s not stainless steel or titanium, you can count on them to rust at some point. I even have chrome plated rims that are just falling apart. The chrome is flaking off and it’s driving me insane! Yep, gotta smash more cans!! 🤙🏼
