no...not a full face yet but a killer deal at the thrift store that i couldn't pass up.

brand new skate lid for $3.00, only problem was that it was a pink Barbie helmet :help:

$2.50 for red plastic paint along with some black that i already had and viola!

not bad for under $6 :thumb:

i just realized that it looks like a ladybug in the pics...it's more urban camo-ish in real life though. i might tweak it a bit this week so it's less spotty.

I was curious because I have 2 boys on bikes, and recently realized how important the right length crank arm is. if those are long say 165/170mm I was going to offer up a shorter set.

i think mike is working on building up a light front wheel then all we need is a short cage rear der. and a v-brake.

madbob - i'm not sure of the crank length but they are a bit on the long side....what do you have?
