Andymann Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Yes. I built this one from scratch. Found someone who was parting out a New old stock one and bought most of the parts from him to complete my one. Those caps are Dia compe caps.Mine had a black chain ring though and silver hubs - did you have those anodized? I also think I still have the cloth badge somewhere that you got when you bought a Grid5 - you became part of the "Le Turbo club". It's sentimental, but if I can find it, it deserves to go to someone with a Grid 5. I'll look for it and maybe you can swap me a beer!
Dexter-morgan Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Nice bikes, I had a Raleigh Burner (SPECIAL EDITION) many moons ago. - the Le Turbo and Kuahara BMX's were for the rich kids.

Eric Cartman Posted April 20, 2016 Author Posted April 20, 2016 Just a current picture of what this bike looks like now.
Eric Cartman Posted April 20, 2016 Author Posted April 20, 2016 this is so nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks man!
Eric Cartman Posted April 20, 2016 Author Posted April 20, 2016 are you a collector?I dont think of myself as a collector but I guess I am. LOL. I actually started collecting the bikes as a hobby. Building and restoring bikes I wanted in the 90s. I used to ride in the 90's and back then we only knew 80's bikes. So my fetish for these bikes became real I about 3 years ago.
