    Klunker for FGFS?

    Do you live in the midwest or something? Fixed gear freestyle is dead. Craigslist is full of kids selling these bikes, because the fad is over. Want a bike to do tricks on? Get a bmx. Want a bigger bike to do tricks on? Get a DJ mtb.

    I want to say Tony and Vaughn were like 12:10, 12:25? Both those guys have won previous races. So pretty close for such a long track. It is half logging road, half single track. This is my strava time.... which is not too accurate, I turned my phone on 30 secs before official start time...

    NEW KLUNKER IN TOWN

    Check out the NS Bikes Fundamental, super nice forks, normally $130, but they came out with a newer model, so now they are on sale around $50. It doesn't have any brake mounts, either. :D http://www.bikeparts.com/search_results ... Qgod8RAATg Redline Monocog forks show up used pretty frequently.

    One of the most disgusting seats ever made. I'm pretty sure this guy designed the seat. http://www.tomac.com/hero-worship.php Amazing racer, but always had strange bike set ups. Google image "tomac tioga"

    1 1/8" will not work easily (without welding cups onto the headtube). They look pretty good. But, I think they have too much back sweep. They seem more cafe racer to me. It also doesn't say how wide they are. 30"+ I would get moto bars. Most guys take the steel ones off as soon as they...

    It would be pretty rad to have a nod to "On Any Sunday", similar era, and kicked off many a kid's love of bmx and moto. Borrow some styling cues from cool bikes of that time. Malcolm's bike Steve's bike Decoster

    Flat Black Heavy Duti + Chrome MTXs with those michelins + + + + chrome profiles + + = MEAN I've got the seat and sprocket, and one Michi 2.8"... redneck would be insanely hard to find and expensive. Prolly go with something visually similar off a junker bmx. The forks and bars are the...

    The humu is one of the better choices for a bike that has cruiser lines, but uses good tubing and takes modern parts. They come in different sizes, too, 16", 18", & 20" I believe, though they are probably different throughout the years. There are a good amount of them out there... nowhere near...

    NEW KLUNKER IN TOWN

    They have been making Humu's since the early '90's, and there have been several incarnations: aluminum and cro-mo, horizontal drops/sliding drops, canti bosses vs coaster, and so on. It really depends what year you are talking about. In general, they look alot like a heavy-duti, but are about...
