The BMX looks sick. Why not make the 243 geared/suspended for trails/4x and have the BMX for park?

 

[boostindoubles]

them bikes look like fun...

 

[Mr Tiles]

really diggin' that 20er

 

[DThomson]

the macneil is dialed!

how'd you get that macneil post in your .243?

i thought those posts only came in 25.4, 27.2 and something else too big for the .243....?

i have a .243 as well and have a pretty serious hard-on for that macneil setup...

Yea...the Macneil is clean, especially the wheelset. Primo has taken a backseat to Odyssey/Gsport lately, but they still make a great hub, rim, and wheel. I finally got my new FBM frame in, so i'm in the process of getting it built. Pics to come soon...

guys, the bmx is a wtp frame...

well the seat post on the .243 fits with a shim, I use a 25.4 seat post with a 26.8 shim so it works
