Hi guys building a Nomorea 20inch and was thinking about using these parts , please let me know if it wont work or sizing is wrong as i have no real idea. Ive only put together old school build but this frame caught my eye so i picked it up and been told that majority ( pretty much all) my parts wont work as they are old school so here is a list of my ideas

Dk Stem ( works with 1 1/18 threadless forks) Was hoping to use a Tuf neck or Tuf Neck copy if anyone knows where i can get one to fit this frame set please let me know
Chris King sealed headset 1 1/18
Red Line Flight Cranks with American BB 180mm

Ive already got
Rims
seat
Pedals
chain , so not much else

I would like to keep it retro style and colour coded ( Gold )
I dont really know what else i should be looking at but would like to know what a "Hop Up Kit" does for a BB and do i need one? if i buy these cranks?
Also does anyone know if any retro seat clamps would fit this bike like a Tange , Tuf Neck , DC
Any help advice or anything would be great as im more out of my depth than usual

ESP stem, bullseye hubs.. new Kashi seat.. Profile retro box crank

Hey Steve. The seat clamps can be found in newschool sizes. I have a blue and red Suntour style here I'm using.
The hop-up thing for the cranks you won't need so much.
The retro styled stems come up for sale on ebay and the US sites often. Try Knightbikes too. They did some a while back but maybe sold out. Not sure.

Primal (Matt) is a top bloke to deal with so you'll get first class parts at very nice prices.

[Steve88]

Ill hold you to that lol , thanks heaps mate

Go for Paul brakes. They look shit hot. Also what Matt said, Profile retro or JC or Hutch cranks.

that is an aweosme setup ben, do you ride this often?

would be a shame to scuff those parts...

[Brisben]

It's currently disassembled as I am going to try a new finish on the frame to stop having to polish it every 10 minutes - just gotta find the time to drop it off

I've ridden it a couple of times and it is lovely and well balanced !

[ozbmx]

this is the one steve is building;

[Steve88]

Ben those parts look unreal. Great colour combo too

[Steve88]

Ok so far ill be getting
ESP stem
Chris King Headset
Redline Cranks 180mm ( Wondering will these be ok as im not the tallest of dudes and should i go for a 175mm)

I need some advice for a pair of chrome bars? I want to keep the racer look , any links would be sweet too
thanks heaps , steve
