had a good idea today, I had to sacrifice my front suspension though, who needs suspension anyway.

got rid of the spring and added some zing

i usually don't like using any aluminum(billet) but i liked the length and drop of this old ten speed stem, we'll see, it might stay

i might stick with these bull horns, maybe cut em down a few

hey, thanks guys. good to hear all that after battling with that bike all day, i found out that the back wheel brackets are bent to heck( maybe hit by a car?), and spent hours tryin to straighten them out. scratched the crap outta my frame in the process. frustrating stuff, let me tell ya.
Does anyone have a secret way to straighten those back brackets? it is a pain in the a-hole!!

I had the same problem with my spaceliner, i took the whole bike apart and put them in the vise and tightend it up, it took care of the problem for me... If u dont got a vise i dunno what u could do...

Perfect solution on the fork. The paint and pin is extraordinary.
