Very nice build. FS singlespeed is super trick.

The blue chain is making me throw up in my mouth a little. Please get a nice half link chain for it.

And she is finished - I didn't like the white b52 bars so I put my old ones one.

I think I'm going to put a front brake on - but here is what I have.







I'll take more pictures tomorrow - planning on taking her to the BMX track to try it out!

Well boys, I just got back from the BMX track! She road GREAT - very happy with the pro pedal on the DHX shock, it gave on the landings but really firm during pedaling. The dirt jumper for needs some breakin time - was a little stiffer than what I like but I'm sure that will get better with time.

Not one chain problem and VERY NICE CRANKS - Super still, I really enjoyed the deity cranks.

I was a little worried about running 34X16 but that gear felt great - I have nice power out of the berms and never felt like I was spinning.

Think I'm going to pass on the front break - Not once today did I feel like I needed it.

Next stop SS

That thing is nice. I'm guessing that going without a front brake you are using it for dirt jumps, bmx track, pump tracks, and the such. If so, my only advice is to ditch the knobbies and throw on some other tires. K-rads, holy rollers or something along those lines.
