Picked up a Bitchin Camaro to expand my nights at the bmx track into some more racing... build is what was laying around at the team compound.
So far have pressed it to use for a few hours of park riding and a nice 5 hour street ride through Boston and Cambridge.
Verdict- hell yes. The transition has taken very little for me at a very lanky 5'10", and smalller wheels are so much more fun as all of a sudden a usable transition is infinetly smaller than before.... It is going to take a winter of hard riding on this thing before i feel comfortable charging fulll speed down the first straight at Whip City, but dang, it's fun so far.
I'll be swapping the stem and bar out for a butted atomlab unit and stem, and the wheels for Atomlab pimplites on their new casettee hubs. Also need to get some 170 cranks on this beastie instead of the 175's I have now. Waiting for the Wombolts.
