nice bike.

about that macneil seat / seatpost combo, has the molly got 25.4 seat tube or are those macneil units available in different sizes? i'd really like to grab one in 26.8...

The latest version of the Molly uses a 25.4 post, with the latest lighter high quality bmx post we thought the switch made sense for our customers.

You could always get a shim for the Macneil if you need a 26.4

This is the stock blue color and a bit of a hybrid between the original and current model.

Manhattan, I was at Rays last weekend, I saw you at the skatepark entrance but I think you left shortly thereafter.

man, i am so tempted to get a molly. after years of bmx (including 24") i got a dk xenia 26" earlier this year. i am still psyched on it, but i want to test out a 24" for more skatepark and street tech.

if ANYONE has one in the Austin area or even a 24" with a similar setup (not a 26 with 24" wheels), i'd like to check it out.

originally, when I got the frame it was powder coated. I scuff-sanded and painted it flat black before I even assembled it for the first time. That actually turned out to make things sort of a pita because I decided I wanted to run it raw so I not only had to strip off the flat black I shot it with but also the pc. The aircraft stripper you can buy at autozone is the shiz. after about five hours of cussin', I finally got all the flat black AND powdercoat off. after a couple months of rust, I got sick of it and sanded all the rust off, shot it with etching primer and applied a coat of pearl midnight blue automotive to it. I like it the best now. There's an awesome little auto-paint shop right down the road from work that will match any color in the spectrum and put it in aerosol cans. The paint guy that works there says this is popular among the motorcycle crowd because they don't have to buy a quart of base just to shoot a gas tank or whatever...I'm rambling...
