update pic of my Lifetime, now a singlespeed. To those who are interested, you can run a qr hub with delta axle rods and it should stay in place. I've been running it like this for a while and it seems as rigid as a bolt on hub...

Dude, I would like to recomend a Balfa minuteman. It is the ultimate hardtail. I just built one up, and it is sweet dude. But I have a question? What type of riding are you going to be doing? If you want a bike that will do a little, trials, trail, DJ, urban, shore, go with the minuteman. But if all you are doing is ridng urban, dj, street, park kind of stuff, save some money and go with the gimp, I love it.

If you kept your clothes on when you 'pressed against the saddle,' people might not make as much fun of you. I guess running that anatomically-split seat makes the 'pressing' easier, though...

I can't help but wonder how many of you guys slapped those big forks (7" plus) after watching Russ M. ripping sh*t up to the tunes of "....when it looks to me the grass is greener on the other side..." on Statement.
I know I did.

Hey thanks, that's a big complement, :) no i d that on my little room, wich i use for putting old stuff, you don;t use every, and hang up the laundry.
:D Because off the dust who will fly around outside.I first sanded it down, it was bloodred, and i put some primer on it, a few layers, rapped the rest of the fork in tape, special for painting.And then sprayed it several times with gold spray paint.:thumb: I think also it looks very nice.That was the comment also from my friends.

You may remember seeing this frame earlier in this thread when Freerider215 posted it.

Here it is reincarnated! Almost everything on this bike came from ridemonkey members except for the wheels and the bars. :thumb:

Thanks to LaxIncubus311 for the help building it up!
