A bit grubby, but very little wear and should clean up nicely.

I'm getting a bit obsessed with these grips!

White A'me Rounds Bubble Font

Picked up a pair of white A'me Rounds today. Not NOS, but it a great used condition... I'd give them an 8-9 out of 10.

No heavy use and the end are undamaged.

A'me Grip Repair/Restoration

In my search for the A'me grips I managed to find a second set, but unfortunately on of the end was damaged through usage.

The rest of the grips were in great condition do I figured I'd have a first try at grip repair. I used a hot knife and soldering iron. Far from perfect but certainly better than before.

Before:

After:

This makes three pairs of green bubble font A'me Tri's and interestingly enough is that each pair is different.

This pair actually has A'me twice on the flange, the other two pairs only once. and one grip on the other pair has the A'me so that the Triangle points downward. Must stick some photos up of the differences later on.

More bits for the Haro

Some more bits and pieces for the Haro build arrived over the past week that i haven't got around to putting up.

First up, a nice "pair" of bubble font A'me Tri grips. I write "pair" in quotations as they aren't technically a pair, but two orphan grips I sourced from different people state side.

A gen 1 Odyssey Gyro lower... now if i could also find a matching upper cable I'd have everything I need for the build. But so far no luck sourcing an upper. :(

Next up is a nice hinged DC seat clamp... It's blue, but wanted green, although I'm not even sure if they were available in green. Anyway, not quite sure what to do with it. Keep it blue, have it powdered green of even polish it up. Powdering might be tricky because of the hinge, I'll see what SBD thinks... ;)

A finally for the front brake an 1986 stamped green Dia Compe brake cable. Managed to get a nice deal on four of these. So if until I find a green upper gyro cable, I might just run a normal rear brake line.

"DIA COMPE 861202F", i.e. 2nd December 1986.

A'ME installed

Got the new grips put on tonight... (Borrowing the wife's hair spair to slip them on :)

A'ME Bubble font

Managed to pick up a pair of green A'ME Tri grips, from one of the guys on RadBMX, with the older bubble font for the build, to replace the new reproduction A'me Rounds that are currently on it.

The only things that's not from the '80s on the bike is the reproduction Dominator seat, and the reproduction Tecmatic bottom bracket.

If a green GT seat falls from heaven, then the Dominator will be sold on, but the bottom bracket will be staying put :)
