we'll get ya on a bike, no worries! maybe we can trade, m always on the look out for a good lookin cantilever bike!

it's WICKED dangerous !! its necessary to keep yer hand on the brake lever at all times, it doesn't take much to get the thing going fast enough that the almost vertical front end rake starts to shimmy, by that time ya cant take either hand off the handle bars to grab the brake lever cuz you'll...

i cut these and mounted 'em on the side of the bike opposite of where they should be. i had to drill holes lower on the bars than what was available, but ive had to do that on several gravity bikes that used sissy bars. this is the suicide brake bike or 'pleasure tool' as ive named it after...

that time of year again here in the midwest. can't do much outside cuz of the cold, and i can't do anything inside that throws metal (grinders/cut off wheels etc..) and i cant paint or prime, however....there are a few things i CAN do in my chop shop during the winter... - i can finally hang...

Re: Beast Bike i cut the stem on this thing finally. the handlebars now sit several inches lower than when i first got the bike cuz it's got smaller wheels and a different stem. i cut one inch off the stem, not a huge difference, but it was necessary, im sure y'all understand! i couldnt cut...

this bike will v-brakes on the front, and ill put a v-brake adaptor on the back. i wouldnt try a coaster brake at any real speed. i didnt make the last spokesmen meeting, but im planning on putting this bike in the world of wheels show, the spokesmen had a bunch of bikes in there last year so...

the rst is a good fork, but theyre made for road riding, ive had it over 60 mph in straights and sweeper turns and it was solid, what i did not like was tight turns, the front end felt veeery soft and i didnt like it at all. ive had g-bikers tell me that the shocks, disc brakes, hydraulics, all...
