Haha! Wow, Luke. You never fail to impress me. Correct, that isn't what I had in mind. But then my mind apparently doesn't stretch that far.

Dragging this up from the depths. I'm gathering ideas. Does anyone have anything new to add?

Thanks!

Holy Rollers are sooooo nice. I couldn't find a deal on them, so I gambled on the Duros. Funny thing is, they're not just plain squares. They're more like beveled "ramps" in opposing directions. I haven't taken them on dirt yet, but they're super smooth on pavement. The sidewall is fairly...

They have a little bit of a cross-hatch cut into the center, but the thick finish pretty much fills it in.

Because I said I would:

Forgot to add a side shot.

That is a rad color combination. Great build.

I didn't. I was going to, but then a complete bike showed up locally on Craigslist for just a little more. I think I paid $85, then flipped the HD wheelset for $50.

Hooray! I can finally contribute...

Inaugural ride! Thanks for all the kind words, advice, and inspiration. This forum rocks.

Update! Status: stage 1 complete First, the Duro Berm Masters mounted.

That's a beautiful bike. Looks classy...and LIGHT!!!

Thanks for all the fork info. I'm still researching my options, but not as feverishly. Those disc mount bmx forks are pretty sweet. They are definitely added to the short list. And while I agree that the Surly Instigator is mean, I don't think it's $30 meaner than a KP2. I would also think the...

Not initially, no. If I do go off the deep end, I'd like to put a disc up front. That's why I was leaning towards converting to threadless and getting a Kona P2 fork. Disc mount only comes in 1-1/8", though. If I remember right, the inside of my headtube measures 34mm. I'll have to verify that...

Thanks for all your input. I guess I'm at an impasse between looks and function. I'd like the traditional straight leg bmx look, but I'd probably appreciate a fork with some "give" for hitting the trails. I may just scoop up a late 80's/early 90's crmo mtb for the fork. I think straight forks...

Here's a pic from the front hub refresh:

Oh? I thought it was the other way around on head tubes. Hmmm... On the topic of forks: where is everyone getting those sweet straight leg cro-mo bmx forks? Threaded Landing Gears are going for stupid money right now. I don't want the hi-ten "cruiser" forks from Sunlite or whoever. I don't want...
