Looks solid. Nice color scheme too.
Running it brakeless? or have you not gotten around to putting them on?

Yeah it does. It holds the bars fine, but it has a grip of the steerer tube that *borat voice* "hangs loose like sleeve of wizard". It will be the first thing I replace. I had it on my old bike and I ran a little short on funds so I had to use it.

Nice build! What do you typically ride now. I noticed your doing a 28-9 which is pretty stiff. I am building up my 9t back end and I wasn't crazy about using just a 25. I guess I was thinking 26t, but then I saw yours and wondered what you thought.

I ride a lot of park and dj's... The reason I went with the 28/9 is at a few of the dj comps I've ridden, you had to pedal between sets and the stiffer gearing would help me get a little extra speed. I also will be riding the Crankworx Colorado course dj's on it which are really big gaps so it's all about the speed I can generate.

looks good. your tires appear to be on backwards though which you may or may not be aware of. how do you like those grips? i had them and thought they were good feeling and lasted super long. so many people hate on them though for some reason.

daydreaming about a new rhythm line.....
and to keep this forum real, i expect to see another thread in a few weeks with a spec list and a picture of your same bike on a different angle after you change your tires around. then maybe again a few weeks after you get a new stem...

and get us a damn action shot in your new girl pants too...

edit: oh yeah, dope ride son...

I just rode it and my tires are now dirty... Is that sufficient to start a new thread? :)
