My stoke quickly subsided when I found one of these locally on craigslist. Bummer, the newer models lack the coolness of the loop tail.
Even though I am an 80s/90s bmx cruiser guy, I am thoroughly enjoying this build.
if you do an acid bath, be sure to do a base bath to stop the corrosion inside.
I typically use Baking soda dissolved in water, then give it a good rinse after.
