good choice on the saints. i catch a little **** here and there for running them on my street/dj bike, but they rule.

its not the niced on here, but it certainly does the job. it now has only one brake (avid) and a sun mammoth front wheel with 9mm solid qr. its delightful

Dude how do you stay so clean and organized? I mean I scrub and scrub and spend hours on end picking things up and putting them away, but I never get anywhere close to as clean as you. What's your secret?

mobs have euro bb. american bbs are retarded. a mid bb is what a lot of bmx frames are using. a mid bb is a press fit bearing into the bb shell, like an american bb...but a lot smaller and lighter.

I gotta throw my new rig in the ring. Probably not the nicest (that sluggo is H.O.T) but I totally love how it rides. It's more of a FR deal, but it'll definitely see it's share of miles around town and DJing.

I think I'm going to leave the hubs alone, the polish seems to work with the chrome cranks...plus, I don't feel like unlacing the wheels and sending the hubs back for ano'ing or switching shells, etc...I'm lazy like that...

Thats some dramatic lighting! Maybe a lil too dramatic... I can only see an FG with an Stype up front! Man I cant wait to get mine finished.

Somthing tell's me that isn't entirely true. I'm pretty sure somthing will be changed in the very near future. Face it Tiles, you have a new bike / parts addiction. :cheers:
I think Calvin might have finally got his frame changing pattern out of his system...

What happened to the Elementary stem? You ditch it simply for color matching? LOL

Is that a USB with a raw finish?
Indeed it is.

I put a hurtin' on it at the local concrete park today. I had a ton of bmxers asking about it. They were a little freaked out at how close it is to a 20 incher. A couple guys gave it a whirl and said they were on the USB list. I'm pretty stoked about it...

Hey Stiles... What length stem did you get? Any problems with it slipping?

it's a 45mm hip and no problems at all with slipping. the hardware is standard so it's helpful to have a set of standard allen keys in the truck before heading out to skatepark. I did not take mine with me Sunday and my headset got a little sloppy and I had no way of tightening it. I went to sears yesterday and remedied that problem ;)
